[ABSTRACT]   Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role?s perspective.

This was our final meeting, where we were able to see design prototypes and evaluate them according to our marketing expert's criteria.  We were able to agree on a model, with a few additions- adding corporate logo and an on/off button.  It was overwhelmingly approved by our marketing criteria.  The only major issue was the objective of making it hard to lose.  We were not sufficiently informed on the possibilities of communication to set off sounds, etc.  The design is also rather small, which was great ergonomically, but also increases the likelihood of it getting lost.

[DECISIONS]   Name all decisions that were made during the meeting. Mark those decisions that you consider of high importance for your role with a *. Write fragmented notes.


-*choose the potato/mango prototype
-add an on/off button
-add corporate logo
