April Fools! Seriosly, it's just an April fools joke. Check the date at the bottom.
Yea, I saw that the day it came out. I friend of mine not only took the bait, he too the bobber, the rod, AND the reel!
If we could only be resellers...

hodgepoj,
Its great to see your doing your research. When I first signed up to this site, it took me weeks to read up on everything. I am still learning, and I still get things wrong [:I]
I came upon the same article and caught the date, but it would be interesting what companies other than computer companies will come up with for the Segway in the future.
Perhaps they are waiting for the machine to become more popular, or waiting for the next model to be released(when ever it comes out)

In trying to beat your record getting caught up in this forum, Blinky, I scanned the piece but failed to notice the date. I used to be a bishop in the Macintosh Universal Church and it never occurred to me that Pope Jobs would tell a lie.
But this is just the sort of thing he would jump on. After all, he stole the Mac GUI from Xerox PARC, why not steal the iSegway idea from Dean?
