rachelelise,
Agree. I believe the revenues will appear to grow starting Q1, as you state. Intel didn't start shipping product until late November. With Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, I doubt Wave will see more than a couple hundred thousand, if that. I do expect to see revenues higher than last quarter for Q4, but the "hockey stick" is just now beginning.
In terms of getting money for something, even in a beta situation, Wave "should" be getting revenues. The customers are still benefitting, albeit not as much as without the headaches of development continuing...
