It kinds of depends on your definition of vaporware. As it said in the link, it is an UI demo for future S60 SW, supporting also touch screen devices. What the hardware there in that video is imho rather irrelevant.

Whereas iPhone is the combination of the device+the SW, S60, as you know, is the SW platform. It can run on any number of devices, so if the ... black blob device in the video isn't real, i frankly don't really see the relevance to the issue. It wasn't a demo of the HW, it was a demo of the SW.

HW:s that are capable of running touch screen UI's exist. It wouldn't be tied to any one particular HW form factor. Google "S60 touch".
