Segway CTO leaves to join Apple design team
Doug Field, described as "the driving force behind Segway" on the company's customer forums, is leaving Segway for Apple, where his role will be "a VP of product design" according to a Segway coworker. (Just nosy: If Field is not the VP of product design, but a VP, then how many vice presidents of product design does the company have?) A few years ago, Steve Jobs slammed the Segway as "this incredibly innovative machine but it looks very traditional," and challenged Field to design "things that would make you shit in your pants." Will Field make good on that? Video or it didn't happen, Doug.
