Tactivo, Precise Biometrics' smart card and fingerprint reader designed for the iPhone, has now been certified by Apple Inc. The first batch of Tactivos for iPhone has already arrived from the company's new production partner, Flextronics, in the United States.

The first generation of Tactivo is being launched for iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 in a convenient smart casing. The solution works with smart card and fingerprint recognition implemented separately or combined.

“Apple has now certified Tactivo in its Made For iPhone (MFi) Program. Precise Biometrics will also be launching Tactivo for iPad after the summer,” Precise Biometrics proudly states.

The company expects the first orders for Tactivo to arrive during summer 2012. To purchase a Tactivo, visit the company here.
