The Chief Technology Officer of Segway (yes, the scooter) is joining Apple as VP of Apple Product Design. The announcement that came from the Segway chat forums started with; “Doug Field, the chief technology officer at Segway who heads their entire engineering team (and has since Day 1), is leaving Segway to become a VP of product design at Apple.” Field is said to be a big fan of Apple products and, their designs.

This could be interesting to the geeky world. Considering Apple’s new VP of Product Design spent quite some time on a “personal transport vehicle”. What’s next from Apple? A car that has all the bells and whistles of an iPhone? Or maybe the “iScooter”! We could definitely see some products coming from Apple in the future that were tailored for our own vehicles. Maybe Apple will improve on the GPS navigators or Satellite Radio for our cars. We’ll see.
