Why IDX's PR does not come out and state "our ongoing relationship with XYZ.. and PDQ.. will enable us" Why the mystery?

Brad; Here is the response from Fujitsu...Haven't looked at the links yet, just woke up... Dear Mr. Sherman- Thanks for the mail- the fingerprint reader created quite a response- we are looking forward to showing it at COM Japan this week. Last week's announcement came from Fujitsu Laboratories in Japan, not any of our commercial business units. As such, commercial plans are not yet cetain. We cant say for sure how this technology will be added to our commercial lineup. Our business groups are expected to commercialize this technology some time next year. We will announce the commerical product availability at that time. The scanning technology DOES, however, build on the same body of work that led to the Fingerscan products. The software and scanning methods are basically the same, but the hardware has been dramatically reduced in size. You can find more information about the Fingerscan commercial products at Fujitsu Europe in the UK: fujitsu-europe.com In case you have not seen the photographs that accompanied the press release (appended below), there are two photos uploaded on Fujitsu's home page here: fujitsu.co.jp Thanks again for your interest in Fujitsu's fingerprint scanning technology. Best regards, Mike I think this might be a standard reply, for my name is not Sherman... do you think he might have read the posts about the changing my name and came up with a suggestion?<g> Think it might be Fingerscan... steve
