WRT lapboard patents. Here's what's going on. No international filings have ever been made, the company was too broke to ever follow through and complete the work. Some US filings have been made but the company has never responded to any patent office communication. The patent attorneys involved have all withdrawn to avoid getting left holding the bag. These are patents that will never be granted. Phantom Entertainment is a ghost ship. All of us formerly involved are just amazed that it can keep generating press and the tease of a product one day.

I'm one of the inventors and I haven't even seen one of this round of prototypes yet. By publishing this review you are aiding PHEI in their scheme to drive up share price, raise funds, finish development and ship. They are now in a Tinkerbelle mode of product dev.; if you believe hard enough they might come back to life. The only member of the product team remaining left a few months ago. PHEI has walked away from the lapboard patents. The share price, the sole mode to pay employees and vendors is now so low it's listed with scientific notation. (no joke) The lapboard is cool, but these guys are extremely unlikely to ever finish and ship. My only hope is that since the IP is completely unprotected, that someone else will take the idea and run with it. Logitech, anyone?!
