According to Webster any product that is widely advertised but you can't yet buy is vaporware:

Vaporwares true meaning deals with computer software and hardware that is announced but NEVER actually released nor cancelled. Which means until it has not been released or never officially canceled it can't be termed as " definitely vaporware". So when it is released, and it will be, then your vaporware comment will be proven to be ignorant at best.

You don't like being proved wrong do you?

Perhaps Oxford are ignorant too because they don't agree with what you thought vapourware was?

My favorite vaporware are the Peavey IPR4500(DSP) and IPR6500(DSP) amps. Many years later they've been "uprated" to the IPR5000(DSP) and IPR7000(DSP) and still will ship "any day now" x( .

Omg. You would seriously put a link in from a dictionary and then say something different then what it says. Apparently you cannot read. I guess ignorance is bliss. Again a mixing board that does indeed exist cannot be vaporware because it does exist. People are out using it now. If it was in concept drawings and being discussed yet not built, and ends of never being built it can then be called vaporware. But again only until it is not out. People called your precious dl1608 vaporware yet some how I and you own it. Hmm. So I guess it wasn't vaporware after all.
The only reason someone might term something that is not on the market yet as vaporware is because they are misusing the word. Again I say, ignorance is bliss.
Robocurry you can say something is vaporware to take a shot at the company. But saying its "definitely vaporware" is just an ignorant statement. Because I can say one million percent that it is indeed, most definitely, with out a doubt, absolutely not vaporware.
