VW40 is more precisely, Vapour-Wear 40. Vapour wear in the sense that King Ericy wasn't wearing any clothes when they were claiming they invented CDMA, they were not interested in selling cdmaOne, they would deny their customers that request if they asked for cdmaOne, they were inventing W-CDMA without using Q! patents, which they didn't need. King Ericy was as naked as the day Lars Ramqvist was born.
The 40 stems for WD40 being the real oil, the good oil, the dinkum oil, but the claims by Ericy were snake oil. WD40 is a light lubricating oil for degreasing things, unsticking things etc.
Vapourware, an old software industry term, derived from the idea of software which was not actually real, but a company would claim that they had it or were preparing it, to put competitors off = make them give up before they started. Ericy were making absurd vapourware claims in regard to W-CDMA. They are still making them. Pretending that it will be anything other than cdma2000 with a few bells and whistles.
Ericy will be going flat out with their Lusk Boulevard cdmaOne infrastructure efforts, with a view to supplying China, Telecom New Zealand and anyone else they can, such as Leap Wireless, NextWave Telecom as well as completing contracts which had been initiated already while Qualcomm owned the business.
