Press Releases of the Damned
Harry McCracken at Technologizer has collected press releases that later turn out to be wrong , wallpaper covering gaps in product lines, or strategic projections that reality veered away from.

Apple projects no need for anything but web apps on the iPhone, Microsoft revolutionizes computing with Windows Vista, eBay creates “significant new monetizing opportunities” by buying Skype, and more.
