Toyota... Moving Forward... Without Walking?!?

Wow, the folks at Toyota have really done it now.  They've finally invented something that will put an end to all of the incidental excercise we get walking around every day.  Their latest invention, the Winglet, is a mini-Segway of sorts. Watch the video for a few moments, and you'll find yourself thinking, "gee, I could really use that."  And you could too, regardless of your athletic prowess or lack there of...

You steer the Winglet by shifting your body weight and Toyota is proposing three different models ranging from sporty to practical with the only difference being the handlebars. 


The "S" model will be controlled by your calves, the "M" model by your thighs and the "L" model will have standard handlebars.  Depending on the price, this might very well be next years "must have" Christmas toy, er, gadget.
