From CNET: If you had an HTC Vive on your Christmas list, it looks like even Santa won't be able to get it to you in time.
Phone maker HTC said Tuesday it is delaying its virtual reality goggles until April 2016, more than four months later than the original plan to offer the device for sale in limited quantities this year.
"We remain committed to delivering the HTC Vive to a broader group of content creators and partners, and remain focused on delivering the very best experience possible for a consumer release," the company wrote on its website, citing speculation about the Vive's planned release this month.
The company announced the Vive in March as part of a partnership with Valve, which is known for its Half-Life video games and Steam online store.
HTC's delay represents just the latest bump in virtual reality's long and winding road from research projects to store shelves. So far, only two headsets, Google's Cardboard and Samsung's Gear VR, are being offered to consumers. Others won't be available until next year.
