Pressure sensitive film type
A Swiss company is working on what they say is the world’s thinnest biometric fingerprint scanners for cellphones and PDAs. The idea is that you can use fingerprints as a more secure way to authenticate paying for things using cellphones, but with handsets getting smaller and smaller, where are exactly are they planning to put a fingerprint scanner? The only thing we can think of would be to have the phone’s LCD screen double as a scanner, which surely can’t be impossible (though it might be expensive).

Surely all they need to use for their fingerprint scanner is the T610's casing!  That picks them up no problem!!
Anyway, it sounds like a good idea
