    Really?  According to my iPhone dictionary "no definition found"?  Maybe it's a UK/US thing.  Can't find vapourware either though...

     

     

    Anyway, I think we all know what he meant; being steadfastly literal just to pick a fight is a very internet trolly thing to do.

    I know! And that's weird, because it's completely wrong. Vaporware refers to software announced but NEVER released, not potentially forthcoming at all!

     

    Under the wrong definition, every device Apple has ever created, even the ones that "ship today!" are 'vaporware'! Which is ludicrous.

    I don't think Spotify have anything to worry about.

    From what Ive seen so far iTunes radio is like Spotify but only has the radio part. Most of the time I want to listen to a specific track or album. Apples approach seems to be we're like Spotify but you cant listen to exactly what you want, but you will pick us cos were apple.

    MS on the other hand seem to be offering everything, but then failing to offer anything at a middle price. They've made 99% of when you want to listen to music free and the remaining 1% £120 a year.

    Our own personal likes and dislikes aside, the business model for the Spotify and Pandora won't work with the rates they pay in royalties. With the arrival of iTunes Radio and no doubt other similar services from giants such as Apple, who don't need to be profitable, investors will flee from these companies. They have been money pits of immense magnitude and it can only get worse.
