1. We DONOT have working relationships with any
other solutions company
2. We DO NOT know any other EMS factories in China
3. Most importantly we already paid him more then
50% of our money (50% of the 20k Units and also the
64150 units of LCDs), so we are held hostage with
virtually no way out. We are not going to be able to
raise enough money in time to push through with the
project if we dropped Viewcooper at this point.
4. We are a marketing team with very limited hardware
experience.
