Flutterby™! : "IT" aka Ginger

A couple of people have written about this thingie codenamed "IT" or "Ginger" developed by Dean Kamen, the guy who did that ultracool wheelchair, that's getting so much press. I'd ignored it 'cause it seemed like a lot of book hype. From the article in Inside ya kinda knew it had to be a transportation device. Boing Boing has the lowdown on IT/Ginger, it's a scooter using some of the same all-terrain ideas from the wheelchair. No news on how it's going to be powered, which was the big problem I saw with the wheelchair idea.

(Later: Ooooh, just hit me: This is smart wheels ala Snow Crash, can the magnetic 'poon for high speed sketching be far behind?)
