One thought that comes up in designing a transportation device is combining the Hamdi effect with "printed" magnets. Not sure if this was mentioned in the earlier thread. There are several companies doing the printed field scheme and there could be synergy with spinning a specially designed pattern.

Other than a toy similar to Levitron, none of us have been creative enough to come up with anything...Personally, I have wondered if the suspended magnet could be easily "handed off" to another, adjacent magnet; thus, setting up the possibility of a new type of maglev transportation device.
