Can we get a fingerprint reader on this TP

i dont think there is anyways it could happen you would need some sort of a scanner to scan the finger and the touch pro has nothing that could handle that

^^^^LMAO

No, it is not possible. It's not possible on the iphone either or any device without a biometric scanner for that matter

that app for the iphone works prety good.
i tried to swipe my finger on it wouldnt let me do it or most of my friends but it only let my friend access it.
i mean its probably not a biometric thing but is cool

our screens use a different technology for touch though, our phone cant even recognize when you touch it in 2 places at the same time let alone to pinpoint how ever many spots in a fingerprint needed to know its the right fingerprint

sounds to me like it either registers a tap in a particular part of the screen and your friend didnt tell you where, or it actually measures out the width of his tap. there is no biometric scanner on the iphone, therefore it cannot read fingerprints.
sorry to say, but your friend is just pulling your leg
