The $35 indian tablet isn't vaporware

If it doesn't exist yet, it's vaporware until it does. Any time a device claims things that it hasn't yet actually produced, that's vaporware.

I disagree. There are discussions of Ubuntu 11.04 on mailing lists, but absolutely nothing has been produced yet.

Are you suggesting that Ubuntu 11.04 is vaporware until development starts? WTF?

Edit: Vaporware is a product that we were told was going to come out, but didn't. Vaporware isn't used to describe products that aren't even supposed to be released yet!

Vaporware is based on track record. I guess the Ubuntu team has a history of delivering what they promised.
