   This '20 Gadgets You Want' was poor at best, including an item that is not for sale.
   I do not want several of the items, including the shooter and the Ferrari Segway. Time for a change in staff. This article does both the reader and the publication a disservice.

   Love the segway. Some of these are not what I call the greatest gadgets ever. It's nice to see innovation in some areas. I'm good if many of the products never make it into retail.
