How do you define "good at" inventions? I did a cursory search the Patent and Trademark office for patents with "Kamen; Dean" in the inventor name field and got 127 granted patents and 75 applications. That seems to me to fit most follks definitions of "good at".

There are a large number of things I would define as a waste of time and money long before naming Dean's invention which are intended to better the living standard of people who may not be able to do it on thier own.

I think also that you are missing the point be calling the Segway "Dean's most awesomest invention". I for one, think he will change many more lives in much larger ways with the iBOT. It may not change the life for the entire population, but it will effect the lives of many individuals.
