So if Company X produces a prototype working product ready for demo to its customers you don't believe it is really a real product until it makes it to the shops as a consumer product? While not cross promoting another stock I recommend you go over to Weebit (WBT.ASX) and look at their recently demonstrated and qualified demo versions of ReRAM SoC for comparison. (Fred Bart is also a director of WBT) These units are pretty much for demonstration solely to electronics industry manufacturers that make things for eventual sale to the public. Such final finished consumer products are still a long way off for WBT because as yet the US FAB they have as their manufacturer has not yet qualified its products. This is very much like AKP with EM. When AKP's demo boards are fabricated and ready AKP will show them to other consumer electronics manufacturers, many of whom will be eager to buy them as soon as they can get them.
I suggest you read the report from AKP today and explain what is being said there if it is not to be understood exactly as written. Why would all of that activity have taken place if the product is not at the stage of development that they have declared it to be?
Of course I can understand and sympathise with anyone's frustration at the slow pace of progress over what are really the final steps towards having approved working demo systems, but that does not turn me into a doubter looking for a conspiracy. I have been waiting for AKP to deliver me some serious value growth for over a decade now, and it has been "imminent" for at least 5-6 of those years. The cash cow may be late to deliver, but she can't stay pregnant forever. Everything I see simply reinforces that expectation.
