I have two glass blocks tied to 6 pre-ordered glass units that say otherwise with regard to glass. Unless, nominally, something that is pre-ordered is vaporware until the minute it hits my hands.
There are also people outside of Google that already have Glass units.

Most of Google's special sauce in their datacenters isn't available to the general public. That doesn't mean its vaporware, nor does it mean it doesn't contribute to its business or consumer satisfaction.
"Vaporware is a term in the computer industry that describes a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is never actually released"
Self-driving google cars and google glasses nominally qualify.
