What is Ginger?

Ginger: Savior of mankind?

If you haven't yet heard...your life is going to be changed, by an invention. A secret invention. No real information has been revealed yet, but there is quite a buzz working on this particular invention. And it won't be revealed for at least a year.

I have never seen such accolades and praise for something that NOBODY has seen. This is very Emperor's New Clothes. It is being touted as bigger than the World Wide Web, the "most lucrative start-up in history," and it will, according to Dean Kamen, the inventor, be an alternative to products that "are dirty, expensive, sometimes dangerous and often frustrating, especially for people in the cities."

Any guesses? I am wondering if it is a new type of car? There are two versions: Metro and Pro. They say that cities will be modeled around it. They say the parts fit into a duffel bag or a cardboard box and can be assembled in minutes. Jeff Bezos (creepy guru of Amazon.com) and Steve Jobs (arch-nemesis of Bill Gates) are both on the advisory board and both were "amazed" by a demo.
