Now, Phelps is expanding into the video game market, but don’t expect him to do so with his characteristic speed. The Michael Phelps Foundation announced a deal with L.A.-based 505 games to release video and iPhone video games featuring Phelps and possibly some of his teammates. The first of the applications is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2010.
