> even though I know I am on the more optimistic end of the spectrum.
if the past is any guide, the issuance of press-releases on e-ink
does _not_ mean they've made progress; it means that they have
a funding sucker on the line who they want to pull in to the boat...
and _that_ is the "optimistic" option.
the _realistic_ option is that there is such a funding sucker in range,
and they are trying to get it on the line, to later pull it into the boat.
(the _pessimistic_ option is that they are trying to _attract_ such a
funding sucker _into_ range, to get it on the line, and into the boat.)
and by my reading, what it looks like they need additional funding for is
to ensure the "completion" of their "production facilities" in "december".
because if they _really_ were "well on the way" to completing it, they'd
simply wait for two months, when it _was_ completed, and announce it.

p.s. the cynical option is that they've realized they have a tar-baby that
will never pay off, and the press-release is intended to flip the company.
look at how many times this "promising technology" has been re-sold and
you'll realize that the cynical option is the one that has paid off most often.
