Brad - one of my recent posts contained what's thought to be the phone number and code for the conference call. Looks like earnings may be a non event (except for the shareholders). Concerns like the following from the Barcly Bank link still must be overcome <<"If you set the match between the template and the body part being tested, for example a fingerprint, at a very high security level, the danger is that it will reject genuine people. But if you set it too low, someone with a similar voice or fingerprint to a genuine holder might gain false entry." Observers say that prices are falling but must drop much further for universal take-up, devices will need to be well below œ100 per unit, as opposed to a current starting price of about œ350 for fingerprinting for example. The fact that biometrics deal with human beings renders accuracy hard to achieve. A person's voice or iris could be affected by a cold or an infection; a hand by a ring, a wound or by using a machine differently. And there is a problem with the disabled. How is an arthritis sufferer to use a hand or fingerprint test?>>
