PVI was Qualcomm's original Mirasol fab partner. They likely did participate in the setting up of the Taiwan fab and ducked out around the time (end of 2009) the first good Mirasol demo units appeared. Those had the National Geographic magazine pictures and the toucan video. I'd be very surprised if the same equipment wasn't used for the demo and production units. The key to the differences in the launch product has to lie with the touch control or front lighting units. I'd find it highly unlikely that the backend MEMS units would be different at this stage of development.

Here is how Mirasol looked when PVI checked out ... youtube.com The bluish tinge of these takes make it look similar to todays product. External lighting effects which came later is likely what made more recent demo units look so good.
