I think something that we should all be aware of is this. That despite building a better mouse trap, it doesn't mean that industry will come running to your door. All we have to look at is the Beta/VHS war that took place in the 80's. Everyone accepted that Beta was a much better format and yet VHS won out. What is crucial here is that the folks at POET are better then the big players at executing and marketing. Big players such as IBM and INTEL will use their market heavy weight to potentially push POET around.
But as Obi Wan would say... the force is strong in this one!!
