Amtel intros cross-platform fingerprint flash drive

We've seen a few biometric USB flash drives, but most of them have relied on platform-specific drivers, making them difficult to use on different kinds of machines — which limits their use for travelers who don't know exactly what kind of box will be waiting for them at the end of their journey. Amtel's Bio flash drive attempts to address that challenge by combining its own fingerprint reader with FingerGear's Bio USB software, which can run on Windows, Mac and Linux systems. The drive also includes an LCD readout, can store multiple user profiles, and even generate single-use passwords to keep current sessions secure without requiring additional finger-swipes.
