Well, it didn't
look like vaporware back then.

Rohan and Notion Ink's business sense is questionable because they've never done anything like this before.

If he's a great engineering talent, how come he hasn't been able to actually produce a single photographable device yet? All the "pictures" of the Adam on their website are photoshopped CG renders. And raising the prices on the PixQi models by $100 at the last minute, slapping a cancellation fee on all orders
even if it never ships doesn't sound like business naivete to me. It's likely they never actually got the investors that they claimed to be waiting for over the summer, and are going to try to start production using the cash they get from preorders.
