Talk about overpromising and underdelivering. I remember people speculating that he'd designed a compact, powerful hydrogen fuel cell, hoverboard or something similar.

It would for the cast of Back to the Future on Ice. ;-)
Seriously though, I think that the technology behind a hoverboard would probably have far more implications than the technology behind the Segway. The product itself might not revolutionize much, but the technology behind it would.
I agree, the hoverboard itself would revolutionize much (well, maybe for skaters), but the technology behind would change how we travel; Heck, we could use it to decrease the weight of the cars we currently use at least.
