With all due respect to this astounding well put together post Tyro, I still personally believe that VOIS may possibly be bought out in the near future (3-4 months). In your post you note:
"No one buys anything until it works. Not only that, but how would any company warrant purchasing a company that's essentially been in debt/barely afloat for MILLIONS of dollars? Google, Apple, and Microsoft don't just buy up companies because they can. That's a dumb business model. They buy when there are results, the future growth of said company is almost guaranteed, and owning them is worth more than what they were purchased for after acquisition"
A company that is "all over" what VOIS is developing with an eye on a possible future purchase has most likely had a private demonstration of Synapse in action AND KNOWS IT WORKS....NOW/TODAY.(it better or we are all in trouble). As far as MSI being in debt and barely staying afloat, I don't know if I care because I'm after the technology they currently have in hand and the patent that rides with it. I'm purchasing the whole shebang to own it all. As far as results, if I am a GOOGLE with all of my resources and I know that a product that I need "WORKS" right now, why can't I conduct my own private internal company focus groups to determine buyer interest in purchasing the product and projecting those numbers on a large scale to mirror mass acceptance percentages. You know the product works, you are sure it will be accepted (as much as you possibly can be) and you can have it NOW (for the right price...which would be less than in 6-12 months) before any other huge competitor gets their hands on it because they were willing to pull the trigger while you were still waiting for 50,000 glowing owner/user responses before digging your wallet out of your pocket. You just got scooped. Snooze you lose. I agree that results speak volumes, but this is high tech and the first FIRST ONE TO MARKET with a superior product is an instant winner and long term if able to stay ahead of the competition. You can't be first if you come in second and being second by a day or a week in owning or losing Synapse would be criminal. I think they may be bought out by mid second quarter and this is why I think so.
Wonderful post Tyro. The great part is WE WILL WIN EITHER WAY. Buy me now or buy me later, but I can assure you of one thing.... Joe will make you pay TOP DOLLAR to own this gem... and you can take that to the bank !!! GLTA VOIS/SYNAPSE
