I have reviewed Microsoft's new standalone fingerprint reader device. While we touched on this technology in the Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Reader review, I've expanded on it here. Below is an excerpt:
The Microsoft Fingerprint Reader has a small, efficient design. The device is almost three inches long, and a little over a inch wide, and a quarter inch high with a weight of slightly more than an ounce. The reader screen itself is a little over an inch long, and slightly less than inch wide. A split red/silver circle encompasses the plastic reader screen. The reader itself is a slightly sticky plastic material. When the keyboard is on, the reader lights up in the same way the bottom of the optical mouse do.
