As the instances of mobile phone theft and personal information stealing from mobile phones are on the increase in the United Kingdom, people as well as the authorities have been calling for fresh and advanced mobile device based safety measures realised by technology.

This is where a recent advancement in the mobile phone gadget security segment has impressed many a consumer with its almost foolproof stature.

This is all about a technology advancement that would require the fingerprint of the owner of a mobile phone scanned before the phone would allow the person to access the internet, besides playing video games or even making a phonecall.

The latest device designed to safeguard the mobile phones from misuse and theft has been called as the bio metric fingerprint reader. The scanner coming fitted to the new Motorola Atrix mobile phone (this mobile phone will be offered through the network of Orange), scrutinises the fingerprint of the owner to unlock the phone.

To be precise the owner of the phone is required to run his finger slowley down the one centimeter wide scanner.
