iShoes: Speedy and Spendy

Finding ways to get around quickly, and greenly, is a popular trend. And, in the case of these interesting iShoes, an expensive one also. iShoes are intended as a way to get from point A to point B faster and easier than by walking. While wearing a pair of iShoes you can buzz along at up to 13 mph for up to 3 miles -- all on the power of a small Lithium-ion battery pack that needs just a couple of hours to charge up.

The iShoes designers have said they are inspired by Apple and Lamborghini, and although I can see the Lamborghini influence (speed) I'm at a loss to see anything "Apple" about these -- am I missing something obvious?

Regardless, if you're interested in getting a pair of iShoes be prepared to shell out a cool $620.

$620? That's funny, the video that is linked to on their website says $499.

No disrespect to Dean Kamen, but thats the worst idea I've heard about since "It" - The Segway.

And unless it's endorsed by Lamborghini, I see no reason why that Inventor should claim an inspiratiom from.
