> Korean firm develops wireless fingerprint sensor system

This is IMO a key enabling technology for wireless end devices, allowing them to securely replace credit cards and checkbooks, ref The Gorilla Game's preconditions for transitioning from bowling alley stage to market tornado.

Picture a connection established between your handheld and a merchant's handheld or station, your fingerprint sent to the merchant, merchant device verifies it via his wireless provider to a national service (as credit cards are verified today, tho hopefully a little bit faster :-), and debits your bank account.
