Given that they've demo-ed it at the launch of a handset and that there are videos of it running I think vaporware is both inaccurate and needlessly harsh.

It's an announcement of a future event. If we're calling this vaporware are you also referring to Windows 8 as vaporware?

There were videos of Duke Nukem Forever running before it was released, and until its release it was still considered vaporware.

To me it sounds like an accurate term to use. As for Windows 8, I am happily running the alpha they made available so no, Windows 8 is not vaporware.
