I wonder how much time will be dedicated to this late breaking story tomorrow. I checked the GMA web site and there is no info on this story yet.

I would not be surprised if they saved this story to be played last. I am going to have to miss another big story because of work ACK!

All the Segway related spots on GMA have come very early before. Usually just after 7:30 I will watch it to see what is up.

I think this will tie in with the Amazon "mistake" a day or so ago.

It looks like they are going to drag it out. After they showed Diane Sawyer, Dean Kamen and Jeff Bezos and saying it is on sale to the public they went to another story.

No doubt more is to follow.

Charlie Gibson says there will be more on Segway this half hour (7:30 EST)and during the 8:30 half hour.

I think we can safely say now that it is all about Jeff Bezos/amazon and Segway selling these HT's already!

Glad you caught it Blinky. The way they are spreading it out makes it about impossible to report what is going on.

About all they have yet to do is announce the price and when available for delivery. I think Amazon leaked us the price already.
