Granted, the whole Segway-esque skateboard idea has been tossed around (and patented) before, but Tal Ofir decided to conjure up his own design, anyway. Dubbed a “motorized skateboard for an urban environment,” this transporter touts a centrally placed wheel and a “computerized weight balance unit” to keep you upright, and it seems that it would be constructed primarily from epoxy and fiberglass.

Click on for another glimpse.

We know you can’t wait to get your sweaty, smearing mitts all over Samsung’s little YP-P2, AKA the “palm theater” (the company’s words, not ours). Well, it looks like you won’t have to wait much longer, as the eighth wonder of the media player world has just made an appearance on Amazon.com, with an option to put the 8GB, widescreen, touch sensitive, Bluetooth equipped iPod-challenger in your cart and do some serious checking out (provided you have an extra $249.99 laying around). Now, don’t go spilling your beverage on yourself rushing over to the site, because even though you can pay for the thing, Amazon is still listing the player as “In stock soon,” so while you’ll be able to impress friends and family members with the news of your purchase, you won’t actually be able to show it to them.
