Foxconn already has a silent presence in the US; a partnership sees the Taiwanese company manufacture many of Vizio's panels in Asia. Last month, Vizio and Foxconn demonstrated a 120-inch 4K TV at CES, and it appears that Foxconn's chairman believes the only way that TV and similar models will make it to US stores will be if they're made in the country.
Guess what? Nanotech's Nuvola NP-1 is manufactured by Foxconn.....AND Nanotech intends on qualifying the Nuvola NP-1 as a product "made in the United States" just like Vizio's TV plan "made in the United States"
We have partnered with Foxconn to build the motherboard of the NP-1 and are doing final assembly in the United States so that the NP-1 will qualify for Made in America programs such as the one recently announced by Wal-Mart.
“We are elated to have the world-leader in consumer electronics manufacturing, having built products such as the iPhone and PlayStation, building the Nuvola products for us. nVidia has strict requirements for ODM manufacturing, ensuring that the Nuvola products will be manufactured to the most exacting standards expected by today’s consumers.”
So if Vizio's TV has a relationship with Foxconn and the Nuvola NP-1 has a relationship with Foxconn....could it be? That the Nuvola NP-1 technology is inside the television? Let's ask SkyMedia.....
“Skymedia is introducing some groundbreaking sets including their new glass-free 3D televisions that will have our streaming media player built in.”
Nuvola NP-1 priority #1 fulfilling OEM orders. We already know that Nanotech is an OEM for Skymedia...are there more? Very likely. Letter to shareholders.....
Having established our relationship with Foxxconn last fall for our primary manufacturing and assembly, we have issued several purchase orders for the production of the product. We are thrilled that the product orders have far exceeded our expectations and we have increased our production runs several times over our initial orders. We have prioritized our shipments based on our OEM and distribution commitments followed by the reseller orders and finally by our online web pre-order reservations.Much like Apple’s recent success with the Mac Pro tower, we have far greater demand than initial inventory and we are working to have production meet demand. With the recent Chinese New Year’s month long shut down of manufacturing in all of China and Taiwan, we anticipate that the balance of our pending pre-orders will be cleared in the next 4 weeks, with all customers that have ordered, reserved or shown interest in purchasing the product prior to launch receiving their units.
And speaking of OEM's, back in February 2014, nobody would have guessed that Ultraflix would be in both the Sony & Vizio UHD TV's. But it was staring right at us....Vizio was listed as one of the many Nanotech Media Partners. Notice, Sony isn't listed there and they are on board to include Ultraflix as a one touch featured app. Could there be more many more that are not listed as a media partner?
