Who?Vision issues a PR on a software developer's kit that pretends it is equivalent to a production line shipment: biz.yahoo.com "Who?Vision's OEM Developer's Kit is superior to existing fingerprint biometrics products because it provides the combined benefits of replaceability, increased durability, high reliability and low cost in one product. It has the capability to eliminate privacy fears by capturing the fingerprint image, storing it locally and providing a one-to-one match instead of a one-to-many match which requires the image to be sent over vulnerable communication lines to a large database." ===================== I have to wonder about this unbelievable strawman comparison, since it sounds like Who? is comparing its SDK to an AFIS system (one:many), rather than bio-authentication competitors (one:one), and I'd also like to know which non-AFIS competitors send images in flight -- none that I know of -- let alone without encryption or other protections. Finally, you'd think if Who? were this close to a product, Integrated Visions wouldn't have had to choose IDX for software (and maybe hardware) support for its application. There is an awful lot of puffing in this PR, starting with equating an SDK with a real shipment of product.

COMDEX...DD David, Been kicking around COMDEX.......and found some stuff. In light of IDX getting killed again today....It may be the Wendell. Below is a link for Comdex.....it really is a great site....you can pull booth maps, and discriptions of what the companies are showing. Anyhow....The biometric pavillion is in the Las Vegas Convention Center.....south wing. The link below takes you to Saflink (sorry, IDX has no booth)......If you hit on "floor location".....it will take you to the map showing the biometric pavillion. If you double click on the blue box....it will give you a list of all of the biometric companies......hitting on each of those....will give you a discription of what they are showing. Anyhow......Interesting to note.......Keytronics has a booth in the pavillion.....and Cherry has the both at the entrance of the pavillion (drag arrow to surrounding booths) Unisys also has their booth at the other end of the pavillion. Cheery and Keytronics would be our stuff for sure. Keep the home page link in your favorites..... myplanner.comdex.com bg ps. Perhaps someone could take this to Yahoo for me?
