OK, it's mobile, but it's not mobile IT. Or... is it?

Actually, the Segway transporter is using an example of nanotechnology every time it compensates for your efforts to fall off it; a nano-gyro. According to Sir Clive Sinclair, he was working on a gyro-stabilised personal transport system 30 years ago. He'll have some trouble finding the gyros in this one...

Only 6,000 Segway Human Transporters sold! Well, at over $4,000 each, they weren't going to shift like - erm, like shift of a shovel, obviously. But the low number might have remained Segway's own sad secret - except people have started falling off them!

Naturally, the engineers have said "it's a software problem."
