Introduction Compact

New thread on a tiny one with some great potential. Very small cap/float with miniscule volume for now. Should be out on hotstocktips.com by the end of Feb.

ID Technologies, Corp aka:IDTEK (symbol:IDTK) is an exciting company on the cutting edge of smart card security technology. IBM, HP and Compaq have all announced PCs with smart-card readers and applications. The increasing use of smart-cards (Dataquest predicts cards in use will jump from 941 million last year to 4.7 BILLION in 2002) has created a need for card security. IDTEK, in conjunction with technology partner IRE (symbol: IREG) has patented a card-based fingerprint verification system. Here's how it works: each user places a finger on the thin sensing panel on each card. The chip within the panel takes a 300 point snapshot of the fingerprint and permanently stores it in the card. From that point, the card won't activate unless it is touched again by the same finger.
