Okay, I am stretching this topic a little but I thought it would be a good fit (and besides it has sat empty long enough).

9th annual presentation of the Wired News Vaporware Awards. Our ode to the year's top technology products promised, hyped and scheduled, but not delivered.

I can tell you the Optimus-103 Keyboard made into this year's list.  Check out the full story: Vaporware '06: Return of the King

Spore made the list.

I Want Spore !!!

I pray its first half of 2007.

[El Guru (Al)]

Yeah, that sounds cool. I miss the old Sim games.  It was Sim City 2000 that made me spend an insane amount of money (almost $300) in 1994 to add 4 MB of base RAM and 1 MB video RAM to my system.

Maybe the Optimus-113 keyboard should have also made the list.

I was thinking 103 didn't sound quite right.

[OldManDeath]

Spore will be good and while it may not come out in 2007, I can bet it will never be vaporware!!!

Now Duke Nukem Forever.....well, just look at the name of it.  It will probably make the list every year until the end of time!

[Rockpeteuk]

why did the optimus board its class but too me its been a failure since the mention of it it jst seems to add delay after delay (i want one so badly!!!!!)

[Ryan Wagner]

Not to mention that after all of the delays it will still cost an arm and a leg!

This is what will be the killer for me.  However, I am confident that this will catch on as the OLED technology matures.  The cost for anything like this keyboard using OLED technology will be high in the beginning, and like all new technology will come down in price eventually.

Most definitely, Plasma and LCD TV's are a great example of this!

I want an optimus, Ryan, think you could get one of those to give away?!?!?!?!

[Ryan Wagner]

That's actually not a bad idea...but expensive hardware is much harder to get companies to give up. I'll certainly try once it is released though. We've got some more software to give away on Friday though! I'm not sure why I never thought of contacting companies with commercial software to see if I could get some free licenses to give away, but it costs them nothing and just gets them more publicity!

[Nogg3r5]

Yeah Its awesome. I try to avoid using commercial software, because of what it is.
