> hurdles to production of PicoP miniature projector - Merriman (2.64
> +0.13)
>
> Merriman notes that they recently spoke with a manager from Corning's
> (GLW) New Business Development division in regards to the road map of
> production of their green lasers in 2008 and 2009. The individual
> confirmed that the co is currently producing sample green lasers for
> customers and plans to roll out a production ready product in late
> 2008 with a continued ramp in 2009 as they outfit a laser fab in Asia.
> Following firm's checks, they have continued confidence in MVIS's
> ability to produce significant volumes of their PicoP miniature
> projector in both accessory models in 2008 and embedded in handsets by
> mid 2009. Firm also says Motorola's (MOT) strategic review is likely
> not to affect MVIS' product roadmap."
