I can easily see that a company can tolerate a very low yield to produce sample products. The main issue with the Kyobo is the display. Do you think the washed-out colors of Kyobo are due to higher tolerances for the mass-produced unit? There are 1024 x 768 pixels in the Kyobo and there were a similar number in the demo unit. My guess is that however many Kyobos you sampled, you'd never find one that could replicate the demo that was shown at the stockholders' meeting.

Maybe the specifications were different for the demonstration, and those specifications gave a better product, but at an uneconomic yield? OK, then Qcom should tell us what is different. And I think we should have been warned that the quality of the first products would not match the demos.
