For me, the Mophie Knox wallet. Where is it? Multiple dates, October, November, December, now no date. Never an e-mail update. I'd post a link, but somebody might just end up buying a product with no due date.

Yeah, I can't wait for Zune 2.0: a re-badged SanDisk.

J. Allard, you fucking genius!

SED is Vaporware because the technology was first promised to be delivered at the end of 2005, and as recently as the 2006 CES, Toshiba indicated availability before the end of 2006. They have about three days...

I have to repeat Trance-Addict's seniments.

SED is going to start mass production in 2007 as announced. How is it vaporware exactly?

Why is SED vaporware?

Didnt toshiba spend like 1.2 billion on a manufacturing plant?

Im very excited and looking forwards to SED and I know Toshiba didnt spend 1.2 billion vapor dollars.

homerjay: Yes, they said that since Apple hasn't officially announced it to the public, it doesn't count.

Is there a reason iPhone isn't in here? Is it because Apple hasn't announced it yet?

As much as I hate to say it, Paradise has a point. I don't think anyone was thinking that M$'s operating system was going to take over the world with the advent of Windows 3.1; folks were already calling the Xbox an also-ran mere weeks after its introduction.

I'm no fan of Microsoft but I have to give them credit for their stick-to-it-iveness...

Damn them! (^-^)

why does eveyone want to call v1 of a microsoft product the "X-killer?" look at the xbox ... it's all about getting a foothold and then ramping up.

save the "ipod killer" comments for v2 of the zune when they actually design their own shell and hardware.
