Infinium to Launch Gaming Lapboard

By the Betanews Staff | Published December 28, 2005, 11:55 AM

Its Phantom game console may remain vaporware, but Infinium Labs is promising to launch at least one component in the second quarter of 2006: the Lapboard. A wireless keyboard and mouse designed specifically for gamers, the Phantom Lapboard can rotate 360 degrees, and sports full size keys and an extended spacebar.

Infinium claims the Lapboard will be a stepping stone to the launch of its full Phantom game service "further down the line." The company raised $2 million to develop and launch the Lapboard, which is positioned for both consumer and OEM segments. Final pricing for the product has not yet been set.

All they need to do is make it tilt forward or backward and lock tightly in it's position.

Without that, it's useless...to me, anyway.
