Vaporware: Products That Will Change Your Life … Maybe!
Episode 5
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

Vaporware is the tech industry’s ultimate ghost story: a product that is announced with world-changing fanfare, marketed with slick trailers, and often funded by millions, yet never actually exists.It lives in the purgatory between a founder’s ambition and a developer's nightmare. Sometimes vaporware is born from "feature creep"—the obsessive need to add one more bell or whistle until the project collapses under its own weight. Other times, it’s a calculated smokescreen designed to freeze the market, scaring customers away from competitors while a company scrambles to build what they’ve already promised.From $700 million "forever games" to revolutionary blood-testers, vaporware represents the dark side of "fake it 'til you make it." It is the graveyard of broken promises, where visionaries become villains and the only thing that truly ships is the hype.Trump Mobile & T1 (2025)Apple’s AirPower (2017)Rabbit R1 (2023)Bella Ramsey - iPhone 16 Pro Apple Intelligence (2024) 'Zac'Google Nexus Q (2012)Blizzard’s Titan (2007)Star Citizen (2012)Intellivision Amico (2018)Apple’s Copland OSNeXTSega Neptune (1995)Magic LeapGoogle’s Glass (2012)Sony Digital WalkmanApple’s Newton (1993-1998)Microsoft’s Zune (2006-2012)Duke Nukem ForeverGoogle’s Knol (2007)Google’s Plus (2011)BeOSOvation (1982)Phantom Console (2003)Theranos (2003)FTX (2019)Nikola Motors (2014)Fyre FestivalCharlie JaviceKilled by GoogleSend us a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
