Infinium to Launch Gaming Lapboard

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.
