Sure.

  1. Go to school and learn basic electronics.
  2. Go back to school and learn digital electronics.
  3. Go to school again, and learn microprocessor principles.
  4. Go to software school, and learn to write programs.
  5. Go to design school, and learn about packaging/human interface/components/miscellaneous.
  6. Figure out what you want it to look like.
  7. Figure out what you want it to actually _do_.
  8. Figure out how to make it do what you want it to do.
  9. Figure out how the presentation in step (6) can implement the goals of step (7), using the principles of steps (5), (4), (3), (2), and (8).
  10. Design your product.

Hope This Helps! :-)

There seem to be a glut of postings from gmail accounts, and many of these posters dont seem to know about that search engine called gooooogle.
