And most chargers are not that big anyway. At airports I see and use any available wall outlet to charge if I have to. asking a bartender to watch and charge your phone? Hell no that would be rude and not cool, I can't imagine even asking a bartender to do that. colddirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319462549396105204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327656696432309458.post-10533815952790430102014-10-18T15:01:14.014-06:002014-10-18T15:01:14.014-06:00Here is what I don't get about the fingerprint...Here is what I don't get about the fingerprint scanner that nobody noticed.

When they brought in the fingerprint scanner I was wondering "How much is this gonna cost to be effective?"

OK so the point of the finger print scanner is for identification reasons. we can agree that using the scanner is a stupid idea as pointed out by Robert so heres the solution. take out the scanner and throw on a touch screen. use 2 step identification to verify the user. first user types in their phone number and second a 4 code pin the user selects them selfs. its Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327656696432309458.post-74006455793403367722014-09-29T17:39:05.684-06:002014-09-29T17:39:05.684-06:00I watch this on Shark Tank and it died.

I would suggest selling the unit without the fingerprint scanner and without the automatic door. Put the unit behind a bar and let the bar tender be responsible for the phones. This is what the bartenders are doing now. But, with the amber unit they Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686612151707418483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327656696432309458.post-84886976846188058282014-09-29T14:55:57.670-06:002014-09-29T14:55:57.670-06:00so, instead of an expensive biometric device, how ...so, instead of an expensive biometric device, how about a card reader using a credit card.

Any false positives and phones get stolen. Even just a few bad incidents can leave the product with a bad reputation. If it costs $50k to get a reliable finger print reader, there's no way they can make it affordable.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327656696432309458.post-3896062520362432482014-09-28T00:25:29.951-06:002014-09-28T00:25:29.951-06:00I thought the Sharks were unnecessarily harsh to t...I thought the Sharks were unnecessarily harsh to the Amber creators. It's a great idea; they created a great prototype while attending a university; they were innovative in solving a problem. For Robert especially to compare his billion-dollar company equipment to the two young men working out of a university was nuts. Maybe their product isn't as high tech as Robert's, but most Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
