We seem to be on smart card overload. First impressions: Mastercard and Microsoft are competing for dominance in the smart card platform. Mastercard has a headstart of a year or so, and doesn't have to rely on MSFT for its 50 million POS terminals. Microsoft may be able to freeze out any competitors on PC-related transactions. Microsoft hasn't yet teamed up with a biometric company. It could still be us. (Boy, this thread could use an engineer!) Identicator has the Mastercard franchise wrapped up. What are the odds now that Mastercard will be calling for IDX/IDT readers for its 50 million merchants? Pretty darn good. Looks like a $1B+ hardware sale looming in our future. IDX ought to start recognizing some revenues from the software license pretty quickly. However, I don't have a clue as to how much. Probably less than we think. How long will the IDX opening be delayed tomorrow? Kind of peculiar it stopped trading at 3:47 today.
