Well POET never claimed to be in the manufacturing business, so perhaps you weren't clear all along what they do? They are at this point in the business of executing customer designs that incorporate proprietary POET technologies and manufacturing processes. Their customers will either be the "gadget" sellers or suppliers to one.
So I have to ask: aside from being poor at promoting themselves, which many will agree is the case, what specifically do you assert regarding their technology and its potential industry acceptance and WHY.
