Personally I don’t have a huge need for a finger print scanner, but this gadget is already making me justify the need for one. Fulcrum Biometrics has just unveiled its new FbF MobileOne biometric accessory and iOS application designed specifically for taking finger print scans on the move.
The Fulcrum FbF mobileOne is a completely portable biometric fingerprint collection accessory designed for the iPod touch : 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations. The mobileOne simply docks with the iPod touch using a secure yet removable cradle and uses an accompanying app to take a finger print scan.
In order to comply with the demands of standards based biometric applications, the mobileOne comes equipped with a FIPS 201/PIV compliant fingerprint sensor from AuthenTec and is capable of scanning for up to 9 hours or more on a fully charged battery.
The FbF mobileOne finger print scanner for the iPod is available to purchase for $599 directly from Fulcrum. Once you have your new finger print scanner docking device you can download the free finger print scanning iOS application from the Apple iTunes Store.
