RE: 37" HDTV $1,100:::Unfortunately I also tend to agree with the Whiner that Westaim does not have the ability [initiative??] to bring ifire to market. Like I stated a few months ago, research will go on forever if you let the engineers make all the decisions. :::
That's probably true of most Canadian tech companies, they are always always slower bringing their product to market. The competition catches up with them and runs them over in the process. The Westaim stock has been around since at least 1997. What have they produced that was profitable since then? Where did all the shareholder money go???
If this was a Japanese company, the product would have been out the door within 12 months or else heads would roll, literally. Canadian companies are full of complacency when it comes to marketing their own products. They don't seem to be motivated in selling.
The only Canadian company that I can think off off the top of my head that was successful in tech, was RIM. The rest are laggards compared to the competition.
