When I first saw the Phantom Lapboard, created by Phantom Entertainment Inc. , I was surprised to see it was advertised for Home Theater PC (HTPC) usage. The design, while aesthetically pleasing, is anything but your typical HTPC keyboard design. Needless to say, I was skeptical. I have had several weeks to evaluate the Lapboard and I believe the designers were influenced by American architect Louis Sullivan. Sullivan coined the phrase form ever follows function, or simply put form follows function. Read on to see why the Phantom Lapboard pays homage to Sullivans principle.
