Hi,
If we go back to example of cell-phones, we can see economic forces
at work.
People have always wanted cell-phones and unlike Segway cell-phones
fill an actual need. However, only a handful were willing to pay $1000
for a cell-phone and $100 or more a month for service.
With the advent of digital cell-phones, manufacturers were able to
take advantage of digital deflation to lower cost of phones and service,
while improving quality of service. All of a sudden, the price was
right.
Segway is like a toy one plays with just once or twice before we pile
it into the garage with all the other junk. As such, it only appeals
to "early-adopters", especially at a price-point of $4,000. Again, there
is no real need for a Segway, and the price is wrong. In addition, since
the components are largely analog, price-point will stay at $4,000.
I can get a C900 for that price!!!
thanks
Jae
