Vaporware company fails WP:CORP. Article does not establish notability with reliable sources Selket Talk 19:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but rewrite The BBC article mentioned in the External links section appears to establish notability to some extent. They're also mentioned in the New York Times (here) and in the Sydney Morning Herald (here). Both of these articles are from the last month, and there are many more on Google News. I don't think they fail WP:CORP at all. That said, I think the article needs to be rewritten as it seems way too much like a press release/spec sheet written by the subject. --/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 19:20, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep This is not vaporware, and the company is notable because of its founders in addition to its product's impact on the industry and attention from the media. NoDepositNoReturn (talk) 00:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability is not contagious. A company is not notable because of its founders.  Also, the product's impact on the industry is speculation at this point and what few mentions in the press there are, are basically rehashings of press releases.  --Selket Talk 02:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Mendaliv has already shown enough sources to demonstrate notability, but if you want more try looking through the 146 hits in the Google News archive, including substantial coverage by major publications from around the world such as PC World, Die Welt , The Age etc. This goes far beyond a "few mentions" or "rehashings of press releases".
