The core technology of the Segway hasn't changed in nearly 13 years. The price has only gone up. A PT cost ~$5000 after its wide public release, and still costs that much. Can you think of any other piece of digital technology that follows the same (lack of) price curve over time? I have no doubt in my mind that there are thousands of people in China as smart as the engineers remaining at Segway Inc., and there are certainly people who are better at sales and marketing than ANYBODY at Segway Inc. Segway has demonstrated that they make no real effort to improve their technology, improve their production costs, or improve their marketing.
