On a more positive tone than my recent negative sentiment. I found this on the Ihub board. For one as we know it is not easy to accomplish what Suresh and his team have done. It does take a long time to get a product to market. 

Look at the above statement from Ayer Labs. Their product was supposed to be out almost three years ago. I think Suresh is stating what he believes at the time of each press release. Just so many moving parts and other factors not in their control. Things evolve and change quickly. And customers have certain demands and requirements.

The one thing that I find curious though is Intel had no problem announcing, working and even funding Ayer during this process. Why is it Poet has such secrecy and no financial backing outside of a much smaller NRE?

It would do wonders for our SP if Poet could just mention a large NA Tier 1 customer or manufacturing partner if a relationship exist? Even if a year or two away. So much deserved credibility and shareholder value.
