    $8000 for "industrial" model
    $3000 for "consumer" model...not out until late 2002.

    I think the technology that was developed for this product will go much much further that the actual product itself.

        teehee...sorry shartley for stealing your take on it i actually didn't even see the other thread....

        looks like you and i are in agreement on this one though...impressive technology....bogus application.

          Remember how much PCs cost when they first came out? And a 16MB hard drive was "enormous"? I can't wait to see one of these things in person.

            LOL Beam.. no problem. I got a kick out of reading it. I knew you had not read my posts..... it actually works out better that way.

            Jeb,
            As for comparting it to the PC.... I would not go that far. The price issue is not the issue at hand. All new products tend to cost more than they do several years down the road.

            Remember when satellite dishes came out... yeah, those HUGE wire mesh things that cost an arm and a leg... yes, the things that were going to revolutionize TV viewing and make cable obsolete......

            How about when DVD came out? I mean FIRST came out. Remember how expensive the players were? Remember how it was going to make VCRs obsolete?

            How about when Web TV came out? Home PCs were going to be a thing of the past for Internet Surfing......

            I could list things all day, but I am sure you get the idea. I will stand by my initial posts. As a man who deals with Marketing every day, it takes more than HYPE and a bunch of people saying something is good to impress me, or make me believe they are right. No matter WHAT was unveiled this morning, the PRESS would have said it was great....

                        I don't think it will replace walking anytime soon.

                          I think its funny
                          Most likely it won't last, probably won't ever be completed.
                          If it is i'm sure youll need special permits, and certain citys will outlaw the things.

                            Does anyone else notice a sudden decline in manual labor? The entire world is lazy. Hopefully it's just another fad that will replace scooters.

                            I can see it now....

                              Won't replace the car. I think it's silly, but it will help with organ donations, though, as people try to wiz around on a scooter and meet the business end of a car.
