Pantech launches 'fortune-telling' cell phone with Fingerprint Sensor
A Korean cell phone company has added a fingerprint sensor to its multi-function phone. Besides protecting the data in the phone, the new system will also tell the person's fortune based on his/her 10 fingerprints and allow the user to speed-dial up to 10 numbers or create 10 different text messages by swiping a different finger across the sensor.
