...also, nice little side effect - the fact that they've solved the manufacturing variability issue with software will mean that as manufacturing tolerances improve over time they'll have the ability to improve yields even further through continued adjustments (and improvements) to the software. will no doubt come in handy for early gen3, 4, etc versions too, as they'll be able to apply it to those if they face similar variability issues early on in their designs.

after all this time waiting it's great to hear that this is the year where demos happen and sales begin.
