It Revealed
from the as-expected... dept
Arthur writes "Time has the scoop about Ginger, IT or SegWay, Kamen's invention that caused a buzz on the Internet. No need to watch GMA tomorrow." It is, as expected, a scooter. However, it still sounds pretty cool. Apparently you can not fall over while using it. That sounds like a challenge to me... I'll probably still watch GMA tomorrow to see what it looks like. Apparently, the US Post Office is going to try using them instead of mail trucks. Amazon.com will test them in their warehouses. It may not replace the car (as some had suggested) but it could change the way people get around in crowded metropolitan areas (though, not at the current price of $3,000 a pop). Update: Okay, okay, videos available here. It appears (not surprisingly) that the site is getting hit pretty hard, so it might be slow going getting the videos right now.

Not replacing mail trucks.
The cookie cutter suburbs will still have a mailman in a mail truck that just puts the mail in from his truck.
