Jack "That was an out an out lie"
I personally do not think that Ajit was lying. He was wrong, that is all. At the time I do not think that Ajit was aware that there were lasing issues and that the epitaxial stack had to be redesigned. I feel that was the reason for most of the delays. Just my opinion. I get the impression that this has been resolved, and quite some time ago. 11 months late might not be a fair assessment as they are just not announcing anything right now. Hopefully they are waiting for a deal before they announce anything. Even if it had been two weeks previously, I doubt we would have heard anything for months anyways.
Good luck!!
