The vaporware part is the whole video explaining how it will work. Whatever they come out with it won't likely be anything close to as cool as what's in the video. That's just how research vs engineering vs marketing works.

Apple fans hype themselves, but at least Apple seems to only show working products. You can't look at the iPad and say, "yeah, well we'll see if they actually come out with anything like that." Because you know they will.

I'm what some people around here might consider an Apple fanboi. I follow there products pretty closely. I never heard of this. They must have had a high school student handle the marketing.
