The HSDPA-capable handsets employ McAfee&reg; security scan to ensure high-speed, protected browsing of PC websites and email management. The security scan function identifies and isolates malicious data before it is downloaded... The FOMA F1100 can access both FOMA and wireless LAN networks for IP telephony. The handset will come with a fingerprint authentication feature to ensure tight security control.&quot;</em></p><br /><p><img border="0" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1189062621.usr8.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>Talk about neat, I wish my Samsung Blackjack hand a fingerprint reader attached to the back of it. Not to long ago, I went on vacation and managed to misplace my Samsung Blackjack Smartphone. When I actually found the device, it was in the hands of someone that swore up and down that the handset belonged to them... even though a picture of my daughter was on the homescreen! Now imagine if I wasn't able to recover my phone! All of my contacts and email at the disposal of whoever found it! The idea of a technology such as these fingerprint readers seem so elementary, it puzzles me as to why phone manufacturers haven't been including them on handsets for years!</p>

You know, my Fujitsu laptop has a fingerprint reader built in and it's the best thing in the world. I love it and use it all the time. In tablet mode, it even doubles as a scroll wheel while reading long documents. :D

It's great to see some companies adding and moving the platform forward. I just wish it was moving faster!

Oh, and I'm guessing you got your BlackJack back. Now it's time to secure it with a remote management tool. Don't let someone take your device and information again!

That was the first thing I did when I got back from vacation. I didn't mean to leave it! ;)
