, What are some examples of Vaporware - ANSWER Ovation Technologies aimed
to rival software giants in 1983 with an all-in-one package including word
processing, spreadsheets, and more, but the suite never materialized, leading to
bankruptcy in 1984. Apple's W.A.L.T. and VideoPad were ambitious projects that
never saw the light of day. W.A.L.T., announced in 1991 as a portable
communication device, and VideoPad, a three-in-one portable device showcased
in 1995, both failed to progress beyond the prototype stage. Imagek's EFS-1, later
rebranded as EPS10-SF under Silicon Film, promised to convert traditional
cameras into digital ones but never hit the market despite high hopes at the 1998
DIMA show. Infinium Labs' Phantom, touted to outperform gaming consoles like
Xbox and PlayStation, remained a phantom itself after its promised launch in
2003, with no product ever released. Palm's Foleo, a Linux-based subnotebook
designed for seamless smartphone synchronization, was shelved just three
months after its announcement by Palm Computing founder Jeff Hawkins in May
2007.
What are some examples of products that WERE considered vaporware but
weren't - ANSWER 1. 3G - The technology was considered vaporware in the
early 2000s, but we have all been enjoying its and its descendants (i.e., 4G and
5G) benefits since 2007. 2. Bluetooth - It took around six years for the technology
to gain mainstream adoption since it was announced in 1994. As such, it made
Wired's yearly vaporware rankings even in 2000. 3. Windows Vista - Codenamed
"Longhorn," the OS's development began in May 2001 and was delayed several
times. It was finally released in 2006 but without many of the features initially
promise 4. Mac OS X - Introduced as far back as 1984, Mac OS X was finally
shipped in 2001, replacing multiple abandoned OS attempts, including Copland
and Taligent. It is the predecessor of what we now know as "macOS." 5. Lockitron
- Apigy promised Lockitron—a Bluetooth- and Internet-enabled door lock—as
early as March 2013. After raising more than US$1.5 million worth of pre-orders
via crowdfunding, the device continued to be nonexistent until 2016. Thousands
of the devices were delivered before the company ceased production.
