cf Fingerprint-recognition technology for cell phones - "To register your print, you slide the tip of your finger over a strip-shaped sensor three times. (The handset tells you if you're sliding too fast or too slowly.) You can register up to 10 prints (for your 10 fingers), although the finger you use to unlock the phone must match the fingerprint that locked it."
