Default Phantom Entertainment Lapboard. Vaporboard... or maybe not!!

Last discussed in april.



http://www.phantom.net/content/products/index.html

I guess they have a manufacturer under contract now:

http://www.wirelessiq.info/content/newsfeed/7899.html

...and also a distributor
http://www.ereleases.com/pr/20060807006.html

...they've changed their company name and business direction, and they're trying to change the consumer market's perception of them. This could be a good thing, who knows. I'll be skeptical until I see end product in the hands of consumers, not just a few reviewers.

Whatever the case, I like the concept of the lapboard , and I'd like to get my hands on one of these, or some suitable equivalent if Phantom is loose with their design patents. Hell, maybe I'll just make one on my own.
