    Segway Human Transporter $4,950.00 (Pre-Order)

    I saw where Amazon was going to be able to ship only 30 of them by christmas...just based on the press coverage, that should be easy...and those that want them quickly may end up paying a hefty premium (to those like the Ebay seller)

    !!Hurry!! Sharp VL-WD450U Digital Video Camcorder For Only $389 after $100 rebate @ eCost.com

    for what it's worth, Consumer reports rated this model 2nd to last (out of about 30). All of the Sharps got low ratings from them (behind Sony, Panasonic, Canon, JVC..) They got knocked for Picture quality and Image stabilization although if the price is right it still may not be a bad buy.
