I thought this is exactly what's been happening to the Adam? A good number of members of these forums were excited about the Adam back last winter and early spring, but ended up getting the eDGe instead. Many people still think and hope the Adam will be the next best (better?) thing to the iPad. Wasn't it supposed to ship in the summer, then November, now December? To me, this sounds like a lot of hype with multiple release dates missed It does look like they're about to ship soon, but to date they've been pretty much your definition of vapourware
