Really, vaporware? Considering they've launched it in private beta already and have said they plan to expand it greatly in 9 days, I'm going to say that it's most definitely not vaporware.

Lyft has the product to market first. Any consumer can now use their feature. Sniping a PR release using a beta isn't the same thing as delivering a production-ready feature. Until you have a usable product in your hand, you have promises, not features.

Well, any consumer in San Francisco with an iPhone.

Yeah but that's not the definition of vaporware. Vaporware has a very specific definition, and we won't know if something is vaporware until long after the announcement, by sheer definition that it doesn't get released nor cancelled.

Fair, I only saw that Uberpool was not available for me (Android, NYC), not that it was coming out in beta so soon.

If you're in NYC, Bandwagon is on android too
