Segway Revolutionizes Polo

Mirkon writes "The Register is carrying a story on an example of how technology is making sports better: Segway Polo. The San Francisco Bay Area Segway Enthusiasts Group has instructions on how to build a mallet (PDF), and a video clip of Segway Polo in action (MOV). A revolutionary device, indeed."

The price would have to be VERY low for the Segway to be widely adopted, since the device is basically useless.

There is nothing it does that is not done better by a car, motor scooter or bicycle. It is a replacement for walking that is only usable by people who can stand and balance.

I'd really like to hear some of the folks who helped with the hype, such as Bezos and Metcalf, come forth and justify their pre-release claims. IIRC Metcalf claimed "we will all want at least two". What a sham.
