Segway CTO Doug Field becomes a leader on the Apple design team

Doug Field and the SegwayA man by the name of Doug Field, who was once the CTO over at Segway, has thrown in the towel and moved his engineering and design talents over to Apple as the new vice president of the design team. There is a quite long discussion about this over at the SegwayChat forums, and the user administrator wrote, “Doug has been the driving force in making the Segway what it is today and will be sorely missed at the company.” Although I’m sure this smart man will be welcome at Apple, nobody is really sure why Apple has acquired him. iSegway, anyone?

With Steve Jobs getting closer to retirement everyday, Apple will need more new, young, and innovative people to help keep the company in the right direction. With Doug Field as an addition to Jonathan Ives team, I believe this will be a nice step forward. I’m sure he will bring fresh ideas forward, and I look forward to seeing some future products with his design style in them.
