I'm not sure it can truly be called vaporware -- isn't vaporware an item which has a name, has a price, has an announced shipping date and then never appears? The Steinberg product is admittedly (by Steinberg and the development team) to be in development with no announced shipping date. There has been no pricing announced and as far as I recall, no product name yet either nor a proposed shipping date. Or do you consider every product which is in development to be vaporware? -- David H.
