Well, to be fair, they talked about "challenging its dominance" but that's the idea. Smartphone will remain a central piece of that ecosystem for many years but this is obviously not an issue at all. With the internet of things and wearable tech, connected devices represent a huge market with a LOT of room for growth.
Wow I can't believe this is so very real! The deal with COO confirms we are worth $2. Get in before the whales do. Whales swim in groups so it only takes one whale

Thank you, all!! I too saw that in the press release about wearable tech that could be worn on or "in" the body. I did know they were working on this. What I wasn't sure about was the internet capabilities that the lens could have that was answered by Valiant. The implications of this tech is almost too much to wrap my head around. One must digest this to fully understand what is about to happen here. I believe the press release stated that they would be working with other companies and social media. EPGL is probably going to extend far out from just medical applications then. This is truly a paradigm shift in technology!! However, I do realize that this is going to take a little time to become a widespread technology. It's ok...I will sit on my shares for as long as it takes and hopefully pick up some more along the way.
This is so true! EPGL said that they were looking to replace the smart phone with their technology. This would be amazing. Good things to come for EPGL shareholders.
I agree
I wonder if EPGL will have a role to play in future developments such as human augmentation, nanobots... Cyberpunk-style !
And when they made the special hint about bringing the internet into and onto the human body that is truly the tip of the iceberg. This long rumored iWatch, think what kinds of medical diagnostics could be transmitted to that from a small embedded or wearable sensor powered by EPGL MEMS tech.
Wireless communications networks are good and getting good enough where nearly anything can be connected to the internet. This means remote diagnostics in real time of patients. Alerts if something if wrong. Self monitoring of ones condition. Also since this tech is about the size of a grain of sand that makes it very embed able for all kinds of uses.
Be nice to see the development agreement posted on the websites of EPGL and COO if not already done. I didn't see it as of yesterday.
Would imagine that if EPGL was invited to the Sept 11th event they may announce that.
Like I said this will be like a Star Trek Borg and how many other devices do we have from Star Trek. This is our future no need to drive and text just say or think it in the future it's coming whether we wanted or not.
Same here. Then came B8. He knew exactly back then what he was taking about. I bought more on his hype. Thanks to him. He was always mentioning about Epgl technology.
Epgl
Interesting. I must say I assumed these meetings were a quarterly thing.
Data gathered by a smart contact lens will first be sent to another device such as a smartphone and then eventually to the Internet if necessary. Significant evolutions will be required for such device to be directly able to be connected or to display relevant info directly in front of bearer's eye. But it will happen. First it will be a single microscopic led that could indicate a low level of glucose and in a few years, some imagine text, pictures, video, augmented reality... Hard to tell where exactly epgl will fit in all this.
You bet! It is way awesome. I can just imagine what the other contact lens companies are going to do when they see what Cooper has in EPGL tech. Haha!!!
Thanks Valiant. That answered my question. Amazing!!
COO rights only concern medical applications.
Whole purpose for the acquisition was to be able to develop and distribute mass numbers of smart contacts worldwide. That is what I strongly believe. This is going to big. EPGL is so undervalued right now.
Cooper has nothing without EPGL's tech. They know what they have and know it is because of EPGL they have it. This will translate in the revenue for EPGL. Otherwise EPGL would have chosen Novartis or Google to partner with.
Coopers agreement seems to be tied to opthalmic and medical tech. They must not have been interested in the technology/social side of things.
This is as real as it gets. This is Big Time!
I believe this one will be an EPGLfest. They haven't held this type of meeting for a few years. I believe the whole purpose of this meeting is to tell the world about their new partnership, new products, and their future expectations. The meeting is 4 hours long.
They last time they held this meeting was in 2012 and the time before that was 2008. I found this from reading the transcript of the last meeting.
Each meeting was held to announce new products, new market penetration, new future guidance and new growth. These meetings are rare. It is the way they reach out to their analysts and shareholders.
This meeting will be about EPGL tech and how cooper plans to use it, develop it, implement it, distribute it, and sell it. That is the only reason I can figure out why they would call this meeting 12 days after the announce a development agreement.
EPGL rocks!!! When is the Vegas thing happening?
I am impressed with the fact that they delivered yet again!!!
Having said that, the disclosure agreement keeps the choice completely open i.e.
1. COO has exclusive rights to EPGL technology.
2. They pick which technology they want to pursue.
3. EPGL may either get a share of profits or be completely purchased for the technology use.
I think once COO has their CCs we will need our own to understand this deal for EPGL shareholders
If COO has exclusive rights to all of the EPGL technology, then how can EPGL pursue this with Consumer Electronics or Social Media unless COO is in the mix.
They don't talk, at least through what is known, about if this deal was only related vision related therapeutic solutions or much broader?
MNKD had a deal Pharma major and the analysts started thinking that there was not much for MNKD in terms of revenue. Once again this doesn't mean that stock prices won't rise as there are still significant positives with this deal.
Is this agreement too one sided, which it tends to be, usually working with a major corporation. Can't wait for more info the coming week!!!!
Lock in your position fellas!!!!
Here is what was released on EPGL's self powered contact lens.
