I have questions about this vehicle, though: Does it have a cup holder? If I can't drink coffee on the way to work, count me out. And how about a cargo compartment? Where do I put my briefcase and the pizza I pick up on the way home?
These questions need to be answered before I consider buying one.
Seriously though, I believe it is the underlying technology that will prove to be the revolution, not the scooter.
As they're apparently hoping to sell large numbers of "industrial strength" Segways to the postal and delivery services, they must have a utility version with cargo room on the front or back.

I think people in rural/far suburban areas are overlooking the majority of us that live IN cities. I really don't need the expense of a car at my stage, but having this kind of vehicle(unless it's really slow) would transform my mobility and while I'd still walk sometimes, if I just worked an overnight shift, I could just scoot to the grocery store, or to meet someone downtown and not be reliant on the bus' schedule.
That's what I've been saying all along.
Maybe that's the meaning of the name "segway", i.e. merely the point of departure another segment
