TiVoToGo for Mac
Skype for Symbian
Spore
SED Televisions
Airbus 380
Gran Turismo 4 Mobile
The "IPod Killer"

Out of all those things I really wanted to see more Airbus 380s and SED Televisions.

The Optimus-103 Keyboard seemed nice, got downgraded and I never look at my keyboard anyway...

I'm looking forward to Spore, it could be interesting if it's been designed well.

didnt DNF win like the "lifetime achivement award" for vaporware a year or two ago, though?

Duke Nukem Forever

Did Not Finish?

"Duke Nukem Whenever" is a much more fitting title

Vaporware are products or games that dont seem like they will ever be released?

If so, then why is Spore on that list? We all know its coming..
