Japanese Biometric Cell Phone

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - January 23, 2006


Japanese Radio has introduced a new phone targeted at security conscious business users. The Willcom WX310J includes a biometric fingerprint scanner in the center of the phone for security. In order to gain access to the phone you must swipe your finger over the scanner.

The phone apparently comes with the added ability to secure your computer. By plugging it in to your PC, you can lock up the desktop so that it can only be accessed once your fingerprint has been authenticated.

The phone will support POP3 and SMTP e-mail servers and J2MR application. It has a miniSD slot, but no camera.
