Peter's Vision For Bug Labs

Yesterday I posted about Bug Labs coming out of stealth slowly. That post and a number of others got up on Techmeme and effectively took Bug out of stealth mode. But there has not been enough discussion of what Bug exactly is to satisfy the very people who are likely to want to use this thing.

Peter Semmelhack, fortunate to have a name that ends in those four letters, founded Bug a little over a year ago and joined the blog discussion yesterday with this post on the vision for Bug. If you are interested in this stuff, give it a read.

I still feel like I'm hearing about the next 'IT' from Kamen. Only this time they are telling us what it is.

The technology sounds great and all but there is a reason why the industrial inventor model works. Well, many reasons.

The Model T and the iPod were designed. If they weren't people that built there own would end up with the equivalent of a soap box car.
Or, we will end up with a personal media device that is just a square block of electronics that is difficult to get through airport security. Sound familiar?

I am the ultimate cynic. And, perhaps I have no vision.

DanInMa, thanks for the comment. You bring up a good point. There will always be DVD players, flatscreens, mobile phones, etc. So, you are absolutely right about the need for designers and product visionaries.

In the same way that Linux started by occupying a niche that Microsoft could not, or the way top bloggers are occupying a niche that Fox News, ABC, or the Wall Street Journal do not and cannot fill, we believe there is a similar opportunity in CE.
