Not to pop Dean's bubble, but...

Apparently some nerdy fellow out in Silicon Valley built his own Segway-like scooter for about half the cost of a Segway. Dean Kamen may be smart, but competition may be catching up to him. On the other hand, considering how expensive Segways are, this guy or someone like him might actually make Segways a viable transit option for everybody. Cool as a Segway is, it is more of a toy than a serious vehicle at this point. Dean Kamen has some work to do.
