Inside Magazine To Provide More Information About IT Invention

Posted on March 7, 2001

Inside magazine promises more information about famed mystery invention ``Ginger'' -- also known as "IT" -- in the next print edition of Inside magazine, on select newsstands starting later this week. Inside is a biweekly sibling publication to entertainment and media business news service Inside.com.

Investigative reporter and Inside contributor Adam Penenberg has unearthed new information including trademark and patent filings, domain registrations, financial transactions, factory blueprints, and a company linked to ``Ginger'' inventor Dean Kamen, among other evidence. His findings, featured as a print-only exclusive Inside cover story, include:

Since Inside.com broke the news of Kamen's mystery invention in January, speculation about what it is has run wild, prompting massive coverage by national and international media, the creation of new websites and discussion groups, parodies, and a worldwide dialogue about the invention and the phenomenon that has ensued. According to Inside's original report, people who have seen "IT," including Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and venture capitalist John Doerr, have variously described it as being more important than the PC or the Internet and have said that it will transform cities and the way people live.

Inside magazine editor-in-chief Richard Siklos says in the announcement, "When Inside.com first reported the existence of 'IT' as a publishing industry scoop, it sparked a real media frenzy. But after the clamor that followed our original story, we just couldn't resist following through. This story now offers the most compelling argument to date for what 'IT' actually might be."
