Interesting article, Dash8400!

While Graphene is a promising material, the fulfillment of these promises seems to be quite far from now, if at all:

“We will someday see an era where mobile devices will truly become flexible, easily folded and unfolded, and that’s when we will need graphene,” said Claire Kim, a Seoul-based analyst at Daishin Securities Co.

"Someday" is the keyword here. Graphene might be a phantastic conductor, but it is (as far as I know) still to be shown that it can also be used as a semiconductor, not to speak of any optical capabilities.

This is very different from POET. POET is here, POET is production-ready, POET creates fast semiconductors, and POET has all the optics.

According to the article, the first companies to commercialize graphene technology in mobile devices will have an advantage over the rest of the industry, Claire Kim said.

Let me rephrase this somewhat by changing a single word: The first companies to commercialize POET technology in mobile devices will have an advantage over the rest of the industry, Andrea Koch said.
