In the ultimate example of phantom-ware the Phantom game console will not be released in November, as planned. According to Whereisphantom.com, the console that promises games on demand, has hit some more bumps and will not see the retailers' shelves until 2005. That means it will miss the holiday season - but not many people buy games around the holidays anyway. Whereisphantom.com is notorious for blasting Infinum Labs, the owners of the Phantom patent - so the article is worth a read just to soak in the bad vibes.

I just get a kick reading about how the Phantom is bombing. Part of me wishes they could have gotten it to work, but since I already have a pc and a console, I was never interested in it anyways.

From everything I've read, it seems like a make-money-quick scam for the principals since the beginning. I doubt it will ever see the light of day.
