Knowing CESD from years of using datebk and Pimlical, I am absolutely sure that 
Pimlical for Android is NOT vaporware. However, also knowing how my days go and 
realizing that he has several calls on his time, some of which  (i.e., the 
gorillas, his wife and family) take precedence over software development, and 
given that he is working by himself, I am not surprised that this is taking 
time. I would counsel patience. Not everything worth having happens in five 
minutes.

Vapourware has been bandied about quite freely of late.

My question is, what makes you "sure" this is vapourware?

Considering the manpower that's going into it (one guy), and the
timeframe is quite short:
If Pimlical group messages are anything to go buy, people have wanted
it for more than a year now, and actively asking for it for not much
less than that.  Though it hasn't been even implied till more recently.

Using that as our base (one person, with perhaps less than a year's
worth of development among other things) is it any surprise we haven't
seen it yet?

Also, with such low expectations (if it's so easy), why have YOU done it?
Or more importantly, since you're whining about it too, why haven't YOU
done it yet?
