iWallet Requires Fingerprint & Has Bluetooth Proximity Sensor

December 2, 2009 By sensortipsadmin Leave a Comment

iWalletPutting aside the rather hokey promotional video created for the iWallet, the product looks like it will find its place in the pockets of the paranoid and those living in urban environments where pick pockets are never too far.

The iWallet comes in two version: carbon fiber or carbon fiber with Kevlar.  This should make it not only durable and virtually indestructible, but incredibly uncomfortable to sit on.  But that’s a moot point, seeing as you shouldn’t be sitting on your wallet any way.  But what truly makes the iWallet unique is the biometric fingerprint reader.  Once your finger print has been associated with the iWallet, only you can open the device by swiping your finger trip across the sensor.  But wait there’s more!  The iWallet can also pair with your cell phone over Bluetooth.  In the event that your iWallet is stolen or travels 10-15 feet beyond its proximity, your cell phone will emit an alarm.

The iWallet will begin shipping December 11th and will start at $299.
