Segway CTO to be VP of Product Design for Apple

Doug Field, Segway’s Chief Technology Officer, will be the new VP of Product Design at Apple. Doug headed up the engineering and design group at Segway since its inception, and was the driving force behind the Segway PT (Personal Transporter), the two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle formerly known as ‘IT.’

The announcement is generating a great deal of speculation about what Doug will bring to Apple (besides his Segway). What new products do you think Doug and Apple will create? My money is on a new MobileMac platform. I’m not saying it will have wheels, but you never know.
