Bug Description
The application name is upebble - Please consider dropping the u prefix from the front. This naming scheme has been repeated numerous times in various projects (e.g. GNOME and KDE) and works out badly. It results in all applications being grouped together under one letter (u in this case) which makes them hard to find and distinguish.
If the u is being used to distinguish this application from other platforms this is unnecessary since all applications on Ubuntu are by definition for Ubuntu. If it is being used to avoid making this look like an official Pebble application use a suffix (e.g. "Pebble (unofficial)").

Hi Robert Ancell,
We had a talk last night about a rename. The new name might land soon.
It might replaces the launchpad human name "Pebble App on Ubuntu", but the code name "upebble" might be kept for the while, at least on launchpad (until I f find this 'rename' button…)
