I remember when Best Buy kept a large, $10,000 plasma TV in the window too. I don't think Best Buy displays such gadgets because they think somebody will actually buy them. I think they put them in the window to draw in the curious, in hopes they will sell them a DVD they wouldn't have otherwise bought.
The cost of owning a Segway isn't just the $5,000 you need to buy one. It is also the $1,650 you need to spend every 2-3 years to replace the batteries when they die. While the cost of charging the batteries may be negligible, the cost of replacing them sure isn't.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
