How do you know Sony is 'just around the corner'? Furthermore, which of the many corners on the way to manufacturing are we talking about? If VLNC can bring in an OEM into their factory and show them cells zipping off the line, i don't think more credibility is required. Note that others like LITH are promising mfg quantities in 1999. If you believe this thread, Sony was negotiating with vlnc late last year to acquire their technology. If Sony did not need vlnc's technology why were they negotiating? The Laptop market is cut-throat business. A l-poly battery would help anybody's product line immensely right now. When they are available which OEM do you think can stand not to offer them?

David: Another reason not to count on Sony, is that Sony may want to use their production for their own products. Why should they sell the batteries to other OEM's when they can include the batteries in many of their own devices? BTW, I have June options to lose as well as the March that were lost. I thought it prudent, :-))), to purchase June options as well as the March, since we would see production in the first quarter. I am a very prudent investor. Thankfully, my wife doesn't know how prudent. Jeff
