The technology industry is always talking up new products. And every year, it turns out that a bunch of these coming wonders are full of ... steam.
Certain pieces of hardware and software promised for release in 2005 were delayed, detoured or quietly swept under the carpet. Despite feverish press releases and trade-show demos, these unfortunate items were destined to remain vaporware.
Yes, once again it's Wired News' annual Vaporware Awards.
Now in its seventh year, the Vaporware Awards celebrate all those long-awaited technological wonders that were delayed, ditched or discontinued. (And, of course, those that were never more than a racy press release.)
I'm voting for the next generation optical media (Blu-Ray and HD-DVD).
