Phantom Entertainment plans to help widen consumers’ experiences with digital media, by aiding its previously clumsy migration on to our television sets. Enter the Lapboard, Phantom Game Service and new CEO, Greg Koler.

After dropping plans on a game console to compete with Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony, there was a lot of corporate cleaning to do. Though haunted by bad press, unsatisfied investors and lack of released product… it would appear spirits (and stocks) are up for Phantom. At this year’s DigitalLife Expo, Koler demonstrated the Lapboard, touting its flexibility in the Media Center and gaming markets. Nominated for the show’s Innovator Award, the Lapboard might just be a hit this New Year.

Perhaps most interesting, though, is the persistance of the Phantom Game Service. Originally the keystone for the Phantom Console, this online gaming service lives on to compete with the likes of Gametap. There’s no word on expected availability for this service but expect it to be licensed through internet providers rather than coming directly through Phantom.
