And it shall be called the iPill.
Via MIT Technology Review, Philips Research is currently prototyping an ingestible pill that uses a microprocessor, transmitter, and pH and temperature sensors to allow physicians to dispense meds with...well...surgical precision.
It's a cool device and all, and the ability to take internal readings while targeting therapy can only be a good thing, but aren't there enough iThings already? We're kind of wondering if Apple's most lasting legacy will be its linguistic influence, and everything electronic begins with a lower case 'i': how soon until email is iMail, a lamp is an iCandle, Velcro is iTape, etc.?
