Segway HT Starts Selling
Ninja Master Gara writes "The much-hyped "IT", Dean Kamen's Segway Human Transporter, started selling Monday with a no-refund deposit of $495 on the $4,950 people mover for deliveries starting March 2003 on first come first serve basis.
"The Segway Human Transporter is one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time," Jeff Bezos, chief executive and founder of Amazon.com, said in heralding the availability of the vehicles on the online retailer's site." It's also the most overhyped and overpriced toy ever, and I'm kicking myself for posting it since that just contributes to the problem.
Any relation to the ZX80?

What guns? You live in England. Oops, I guess the cops and military have all those. Oh well, commence firing into the crowd. That's called "crowd control".

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Segway is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Segway community when IDC confirmed that Segway market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Segway has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Segway is collapsing in complete disarray.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Segway's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Segway faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Segway because Segway is dying. Things are looking very bad for Segway. As many of us are already aware, Segway continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
All major surveys show that Segway has steadily declined in market share. Segway is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Segway is to survive at all it will be among dilettante dabblers. Segway continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save Segway from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Segway is dead.
Fact: Segway is dying
