"More options are better for the consumer:" not if you consider fragmentation. While this runs Android apps, it's not clear if it's fully/"acid" compliant and the risk is Sailfish's flavor of Android is a black-sheep stepchild of Android that doesn't always run Android apps properly.

"BTW you can call any product vaporware" - not really. The iPhone wasn't vaporware as it was never officially mentioned before it was released. Android was launched pretty early on with the G1, etc.
