HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5450

In November 2002, HP released the iPAQ h5450, featuring the FingerChip AT77C101. This was the very first PDA with a built-in fingerprint sensor.

There were many reviews about this product on the Web... Here are two papers about it:

• Biometrics for Large-scale Consumer Products (well, my paper :)
• biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series white paper January 2003

Software

The Cogent bioengine performed the fingerprint recognition.

Some other software have used the FingerChip like Utimaco SafeGuard.

Misc.

• (2003) The iPAQ h5450 was announced to go on the moon. Maybe the FingerChip will be the very first fingerprint sensor on the moon ;-)
• (May 2004) Expedition 9 brought two iPAQ h5550 on the International Space Station. The FingerChip is the first fingerprint sensor to go in space! See the iPAQ with Expedition 12.
• (2004) see the iPAQ on the big screen in "The Bourne Supremacy".

In 2003, HP released the h5550: similar to the h5450, the processor was upgraded as well as the RAM.

The iPAQ H5550 was also the base of the Tactical Communication D-DACT device, but the fingerprint sensor seems not having been used.
