As some may know, Infinium Labs is the company behind the now defunct and ever so aptly named Phantom game console. Back in February, Infinium finally stated what everyone knew - namely that after all the smoke and mirrors, the Phantom console was not going to be coming out - at least not anytime soon. Instead, Infinium stated that they were going to focus on their other product, the Phantom Lapboard - a custom made wireless keyboard/mouse combo that is designed to be sit in ones lap and be configurable for right or left handed use. Well, today Gamespot reports that Infinium has announced that the Lapboard will miss it's announced summer release window and instead slip to a "No later than October" release. Sound familiar? I thought it might. How these guys keep finding suckers to invest in their scam is beyond me. Does anyone really buy that they can't meet the deadline for releasing a keyboard? I wonder what they really spent the 5 million dollars in additional funding they got back in February on.
Check out the note about the Lapboard delay at Gamespot here and for further information, check out this news item from Gamespot back on February 21st when they opened the books and cancelled the Phantom.
