RE:johnboy911; "Not compatible"?

In regards to your statement:

“A few weeks after that the Sacramento City Clerks Office announced they were going to test using Apple iPhones.”
How did that test go? How much did BKYI invest in this pilot? Since this system is not compatible with iPhone 5’s or later, it is a safe assumption this pilot died."

If you're saying BIO-key's software isn't compatible with iPhone 5 or later, the following is from the iTunes web page for BIO-key's WEB-key Client.

Compatibility: Requires iOS 4.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

RE:johnboy911; S.I.C merger cancelled before CTIA?

"Curious that you mention the 2011 CTIA exposition. BKYI and AUTH issued a joint PR announcing BKYI’s FMID devices incorporating AUTH sensors prior to the exposition. Trouble was, BKYI’s device was dependent on the S.I.C./BKYI merger. The merger did not happen and BKYI’s FMID device was a no-show at the exposition."

The CTIA was held on Oct 11-13. The merger was cancelled on Nov 29.

WALL, N.J., Nov. 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key International, Inc. (OTCBB:BKYI), a global leader in finger biometric identification technology solutions announced that after careful consideration, S.I.C. Biometrics and BIO-key have decided to end plans to merge; instead BIO-key and S.I.C. have entered into a reseller partnership agreement to closely collaborate on a number of tactical business opportunities.

RE:johnboy911; "users don't want external F/P readers"?

You said:

"Funny that after the S.I.C. deal was nixed believing users do not want external FP readers, BKYI is once again going into the external FP reader market. According to MD, these readers can be carried in a pocket on on a lanyard. Come on, give me a break. I thought the advantage of fingerprints was you could not leave it at home."

From BIO-key press release:

Microsoft has incorporated enhanced integrated fingerprint biometric security features in Windows 10 with their Microsoft Hello™ and Passport solutions.

EcoID enables users to leverage this capability in workstations that currently lack them.

EcoID joins BIO-key’s SideSwipe™ tablet and laptop-ready scanner as an outstanding low cost option for adding fingerprint security to workstation or mobile devices and is plug-and-play ready for WBF (Windows Biometric Framework) as well as Android.
