XP great, Vista a-no-go July 26, 2008
This product does what it says; it has been around for a while and works flawlessly on XP, yet Microsoft nor APC have made any advances in releasing a Vista driver. If you are planning on using for XP, it's a good cost efficient biometric reader, yet if you plan on upgrading to Vista anytime soon, might as well never consider this one.
 Finally this works wih VISTA... June 27, 2008

You will have to contact APC at 1-800-800-4272 they will send a link to download BETA software that does work with Vista. Mine is installed and working again. YEAH!!!

I found that when my finger was cold it wouldn't work as well. It also took several tries to get a green print. Especially, the older it got, the longer it took to get the green print. Now it has finally died. I loved it, except for these problems! It's really nice to have an item like this. I'm going to look for a different brand this time.

I've owned this item for about a week and I am very happy with it's performance thus far. I'm using it on a 2 year-old laptop running Windows XP.
The price was reasonable (paid about $35) and set-up was a breeze. Once I enrolled my fingerprints I was off and running!!
I do a significant amount of on-line stuff so as you can imagine, the passwords I've accumulated could fill a small notebook. Of all the sites I have to access with user login and password, there are only two (2) that this item does not seem to work with - CryptoHeaven and MSN messenger. Not sure why, but If that's the extent of non-inoperability issues - then this item has easily impressed me.
It saves me time, keeps things secure as can be (at present day) and it has impressed me enough to now look into the Biometrics home security door locks.
I actually enrolled 3 fingers and thus far after having tried to fool it with different fingers and other people's fingers it has withstood the test with flying colors:-)
It's small (about the size of a car remote), lightweight and since i travel quite a bit I have yet to see how rugged it is, but as long as you protect the sensor - I would suspect it should travel well.
My only beef so far, too bad the software didn't come with a variety of voices to choose from - would have been kinda neat or even cool to hear a woman's voice or a voice in a different language.

I run my own company, and have over 100 different logins and passwords for various websites. Were it not for the APC Biopod, I'd spend more time looking through my files for the login and passwords I need than actually doing my job.
My only recommendation is that if you buy this product, you should also purchase the OmniPass software bundle. I had significant problems with the included software, and buying the full OmniPass package cleared everything up.
