They didn't reach consensus on what will be the next IPod, but electronic gadgets were the topic of discussion at the Designing Bits & Pieces symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology here Monday. The event was cosponsored by the MIT Media Lab and the Consumer Electronics Association.
The event also marked the launch of the CELab, a new consumer electronics research center at the MIT Media Center. Chief among the challenges: building ever-smaller devices that still have long battery life, and crafting simple gadgets that have sufficient features."
It's been said that the best way to predict the future is to invent it, so go MIT go! :D
