Looks like the team at Gizmodo has spotted the Phantom Lapboard over at CES. From what I can recall that doesn’t look like the the older prototypes that I worked on, there are some differences. I don’t want to get too exited to what that might mean. I hope that it means they are finally in a production phase with the hardware. As I’ve said a million times. I can’t wait to finally have one.
Here’s a nice short and sweet article about the Phantom Lapboard in the New York Times. What I’m wondering is, does this mean demo units are going out to the press?

I think this is a very smart move. It’s sort of like dodgeball for the virtual world.
I’ve always wanted to see better social networking tools being brought to my mobile devices.
“Pong clock – While this game of pong randomly plays, the players score the time [hours and minutes], creating an amusing unusual timepiece, ideal for those friday afternoon moments at our headquarters.” Oh man, I really want one of these!
So this guy is a camper for hire to to get you the first Xbox 360. The hype has official begun. I think the 360 will be a very good game system and more but please people when will you learn that version one of any new piece of hardware isn’t worth paying extra for. Just get it when it’s available.
