Look, TSG doesn't want to say we told you so, but we've been reporting--for nearly a year--that the top secret invention code named Ginger (a/k/a "IT") appeared to be a fancy schmancy scooter, based on our review of U.S. and international patent applications filed by inventor Dean Kamen. Now that the self-balancing gizmo, called the Segway, has been unveiled on "Good Morning America," it turns out the paper trail has again proved prescient. While Kamen has just presented the basic "personal mobility vehicle," the following drawings of other concept models, which we found in various patent filings, are far more intriguing. Our favorite is the Tony Hawk model on page two. (7 pages)

Video: Amazingly, this scooter never caught on.
