I willing to bet that if you found a top-notch designer and a top-notch AS programmer who knows Flex/MXML, they could create something like FiV within eight days. One day to work out the features/functionality, one day to box-out the interface design for the main GUI and CMS, and the remaining days for the graphics and code creation. All of the layout flow, button functionality, drag and drop functionality, scrollbar functionality, video playback functionality, tooltip functionality, tab bar functionality, etc etc, has already been done and is available in the Flex framework.

Maybe no one has created something like FiV before because no one has been asked to develop something like FiV before, although saying that, how many Flash video players do you think are already out there?. It isn't a question of "why didn't you", it is a question of "why didn't you ask for it to be developed".

Anyway, all of that aside, I still think a big fuss is being made over a glorified video player. Take Fi and FWA out of the equation and there is no way it would be getting as much attention/hype as it is getting.
