Gamasutra reports that my favorite piece of vaporware not named Duke Nuke 'Em Forever, maker Infinium Labs is having some financial issues and that instead of launching the Phantom "game console" (pun unintended, I didn't name the console - they did) in Q2 2006 gamers can use Infinium's Lapboard! The Lapboard, which Infinium admits it might not have the finances to launch, is a wireless keyboard and mouse set-up for gaming. Gamers will be able to use the lapboard to play within a 30 foot radius of their PC. That fact leads me to wonder, do people play their PC games far from the monitor? Is there a better way to experience PC gaming and the Phantom Lapboard is going to open my eyes to it?
