Infinium Labs up to old tricks?

In a trading statement yesterday Infinium Labs, the company behind one of the largest supposed cases of Vaporware in Internet History (the Phantom), has said that they will be releasing their first on-shelf product since the company's inception.

The Lapboard, a combination keyboard/mouse designed to allow for use of both while sitting on your couch, was supposed to be released mid-2006 by their latest outlooks, but it is now being pushed back to October.

Infinium Labs has still made no announcement as to when they plan to release their gaming service.

I remember a time when companies made systems, released them, and then the hardware crashed and burned on the homemarket (not arcade) because of huge prices and lack of games. Thanks Neo Geo, and we look forward to your additions to this genre Sony.

So what I'm saying is, Infinium, everyone will hate your system, so just release it and get the razz'ing over with. You're acting like the 1st grader who sits by his teacher during recess because he's afraid the kids on the playground will beat him up. Just be a man, suck it up, take one on the jaw, and forget about this whole "Phantom" thing, trust me, this is what we want.
