'IT' is here.

Well the world has finally gotten the answer to the question they've all been waiting for -- "What is 'IT'?". Well it's certainly a lot less 'spiffy' than a car that runs on water, or one that can fly or a teleportation machine but it does seem like a pretty cool idea. 'IT', or 'Ginger' as it has sometimes been referred to is a two-wheeled, intuitive personal transportation device that won't fall. This super-smart, computer chip-laden machine won't topple with a driver's clumsiness. Instead, it responds to a driver's slight moves and runs on pennies worth of electricity a day. It's called the Segway, travels about three times the speed of walking and is intended for sidewalks and inner-city jaunts.

For more information check out the official site at http://www.segway.com. They've got videos of the device in action and it seems quite cool... should make for a nice toy :)
