The problem with the fingerprint stuff is (our) enterprise exchange systems still require a pin to be transferred and not a fingerprint key... at our place we certainly will still need to have a pin code.
Also i sometimes use my finger to unlock the phone when its on my desk (i.e when not holding my phone) instead of my thumb... which would mean using the flat part of my finger to a) trigger the metal ring switch and b) to have a print for it to read.
Another issue with the finger print is in winter with gloves (the ones which can work with touch screens)
And finally (a comical one at first - but really quite serious) Say and accident happens in a factory- person loses fingers... reaches for phone to call for help.. then the double wammy. cant use your phone!!
I like the idea.. but i see this as being another siri.. limited use a bit of a gimmick.
