      This was never vaporware.. they were just compelled by the RIAA to wait to release the RadioShark until such time that the programming on the radio sucked enough that none of the filthy pirates wanted to jack it.

    .....is said to feature a "fricken laserbeam". When asked to comment on the new feature, Paul Griffin (CEO of Griffin Technologies) said, "Every 'former vaporware of the year' ( he said using finger quotes) device deserves a warm meal." He then raised his ring laden pinky to his lower lip and let out a dasterdly chuckle.

    It's cool to see this finally released. Sadly, they upped the price. Originally it was supposed to be $50US, but Griffin's site now lists it as $70. Does inflation apply to products before they actually exist?

    Look at the picture. It's much too curvey to work with a regular pc. With those lines, it must be applelicious.
