There was never non-manufactured hype for it. I saw people who were paid to be excited about it be excited about it, and literally nobody else cared. Nobody else even knew what the hype was event supposed to be for.
I remember a bunch of people seeming sincere about it, and a lot of money was wasted on it, including from companies like apple.
I never understood why. It was so obviously a doomed idea from day 1
