An Interesting Challenge

This is way off topic but I found it interesting and it's 4 A.M. (tomorrow is going to suck Update: Somehow I managed to get up pretty easily).

As Apple announced yesterday that it had sold its 10,000,000 iPod one diabetes oriented blog was challenging Apple to branch out.

Big news this week, Folks. Apple Inc. has sold its 100-Millionth iPod. Ah, those perfectly aesthetic little high-tech devices for enjoying your music, yes. Which gives me an idea... Why, oh why, do consumers everywhere get the most "insanely great" little MP3 player, while we whose lives depend on medical devices get the clunky stuff of yesteryear? It occured to me that this is never going to change unless we call on the Gods of Consumer Design to champion our cause. So... I have penned an "Open Letter to Steve Jobs" asking him to tackle the medical device design conundrum on our behalf.

The story has already been picked up by blogs like TechCrunch and it's only been up for less than a day. It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.
