Fingerprints

[Gadzks]

So...I just saw a commercial for the G1 from T-Mobile with the theme of curiosity. The last app example showed a gal asking "Are our fingerprints the same?".

What have we become and where is this train going to wreck?

I just want to view a PDF on my G1...

not that important but...

The girls are identical twins and they are wondering if their fingerprints are also identical.


I actually thought it was kind of interesting.

Yeah, I don't understand what's wrong or stupid about that question.

My Brother thought the device could read your fingerprint... I thought it would be cooler if it could but I understood that it was a question they were asking google. I typed in the one about "what is in a hot dog" and it autocompleted for me LOL then I had to open a page... I think it would have been cool for google to put those as codes to talk about the device. Like if someone enters that in it will tell them the answer then tell you about the G1 like a marketing ploy.

Except for fact that those marketing dollars would be wasted on people who've already purchased the device.

Not really... people seeing the commercial would see it as well when they type it in to google... not to mention those using the G1's at the store.

Finger Print anyone?

I know biowallet is on its way with this retna scanner but do you think the touch screen would be capable of recognising finger prints?

it would be awesome and have so much potential

 

[warzchit]

the girl asked that question because it was her and her twin meaning she could search it on google and get the answer that was part of the whole commercial

The fact that everyone has their own unique fingerprint is what makes that a dumb question.

Nope, not possible. No touch screen in any phone on the market today is capable of recognizing a fingerprint.

As Black93300ZX said the touch screen can't, but biowallet uses the camera to scan the retina so maybe the camera could be used to scan fingerprints as well. I think people are going to look really stupid taking pictures of their eye.

 

[JackD3ath]

they prolly wouldnt have to "take" the picture. it could be used in the same fashion as the barcode scanner is.

 

[Jethro5]

Whats the bets that with the retna scanner, the conversations of eye cancer will atleast triple! Just me?
