Do away with the clutter of buttons. One button does all.
Familiar industrial design philosophy? Of course, it’s Apple’s iPod as we see it in other technologies. This time, we see it in Electrolux’s new oven called Inspiro and its conspicuous button.
But Inspiro is beyond iPod (duh). It’s one smart oven. While dumb ovens cook food with a thermostat, Inspiro calculates energy and time required for the right cooking temperature. It then combines the resulting math with its database of professional cooking techniques. This is similar to the autofocus and auto-exposure of a camera (isn’t it coincidental that up front, Inspiro looks like a camera?): you press one button (plus some minimalistic touch control) and voila, cooking works like magic. Which brings us to iPod. Blah.
So, what has a geek like you gotta do with Inspiro? Well, having an oven with high IQ for a girlfriend to cook your perfect meal might be your idea of getting a life. (It has low EQ though.)

Now word yet on its price and release date.
