Unfortunately, I am starting to doubt that Apple will use LQMT in the iPhone 6. I am starting to believe we won't see it in Apple products until the iPhone 7 which is 3 years away. We better get some other industries to use this alloy soon!

Thanks for the time line link.

There is no question that Lockheed and Liquidmetal have been in relationship about ten years on various projects:

We differ on the length of time it takes to turn an R&D effort into
a government contract.

I do think this is promising.
But so was KEP, and KEP is more than ten years into development.

What would be an interesting post, but which I do not have the time or interest to research, are the timelines of other Lockheed projects from R&D Start to Production Contract Award Finish that were under your proposed 7 years.

I am just saying that I think we have years to go before any award or meaning, when Liquidmetal is put into the field in full production for the EADS.

Anybody up for the challenge?
