They had a fake program like this for Palm way back, the trick was you had to hit a certain button before touching the screen with your thumb and then it would let you in to the device. If you friend did not see you hit the button they could turn it on and off touching the thumb print area on the screen and nothing would happen. It was fun for about 5 seconds.

LOL wouldn't we need that fingerprinting to, say, unlock the phone? So, how do we unlock the phone to use the camera to record fingerprint? :P

My PC? I hate typing in my password. I log in using the fingerprint.
Laptop? Same.
Doors? I hate keys! Keys are so 20th century.

I guess since some things can be unlocked maybe the camera would be unlocked. You turn the screen on and it instructs you to press center button for a scan and it would take a pic, I just thought I'd make it interesting.

Ah, yeah. That makes sense.
And trust me, anything's possible contrary to what most people would consider it an April Fool's joke. Too bad technologists are far behind ideas in an age like this. We consumers come up with great ideas that we know can take a shape or form considering we have all this technology, but these idiots slow it all down.

My old argument was just the same, when Palm had PDA devices with Touch screen why couldn't they have either integrated a cellphone chip in that device and made it a cellphone, or vice-versa?

Anyhow, I'm ranting away now..
