[snowComet]

It looks like Samsung wants to bring more and more features to their devices. PocketNow reported, in a forum in Hong Kong, Samsung's senior vice president Rhee In-jong told analysts and investors Samsung's plans with biometric technology. He said Samsung wants to expand biometric technology to "as many devices as possible", and they are looking into other biometrc technologies like the iris scanner.

Rhee In-jong’s statement:

“We’re looking at various types of biometric [mechanisms] and one of things that everybody is looking at is iris detection.”

I think it is stupid if you do it by itself. Relying on a password you can't change is never a good idea. With fingerprints you're literally leaving your password in the open every time you touch something. Iris scanning is better but it's still the issue of not being able to change it.
