pantech pg6200You think fingerprint recognition in mobile phones is a thing in sci-fi books or movies? Think again. The Pantech PG 6200 mobile phone actually has that feature, which is the first cellular phone to do so...so far.


The clamshell phone also features voice recognition, as well as a built-in camera with self timer, video recorder and player, MP3 player, a Micro- SD card slot for memory expansion, Bluetooth and tri-band features. But certainly, its fingerprint recognition feature will catch everyone's attention. It will surely heighten the mobile phone's security. Imagine this scenario:

Sneaky Little Brother: Hey! Guess what I have here!
You: (Indifferent)
Sneaky Little Brother: I have your mobile phone, dummy!
You: Okay.
Sneaky Little Brother: (getting irritated) I'm gonna delete all your contacts! (tries to access the phone) I'm gonna delete all your contacts! (still can't access the phone, fingerprint incorrect)
You:(laughing) You were saying?
Sneaky Little Brother gives up, and hands the mobile phone to you.


Security measures aside, having it in a mobile phone is just plain cool. In fact, it seems that this innovation has placed mobile phone technology into a whole new level. Who knows? Maybe the stuff we see in sci-fi movies won't be that "fictional" anymore.
