Mobile Design

It is such an awesome and beneficial technology if Nokia Corporation can come up with a mobile phone that is capable of face or voice recognition, or even a much develop equipment that identifies users based on unalterable features such as heart rhythms and brain patterns, I believe these are internal physiological characteristics, so they are not easily imitated.
Such mobile phone can take readings thru a headset containing two electrodes that press against the wearer's forehead. This kind of innovation would be helpful in personal identification, check-in at the airport, medical history, banking transactions and voting thru a mobile phone.
I take particular interest in voting thru a mobile phone, where the scanner within the phone's system would identify an individual who is allowed to vote, to authenticate his electroencephalograms(EEGs), which record brain patterns, and electrocardiograms(ECGs), which record haert rhythms.
Once the voting organizers verifies that he is allowed to vote, then he can just SMS his vote.
If such technological advancement in mobile phone can happen soon, this would surely save a lot of resources, time and effort for the concerned nation, company or organization that needs the needed vote results.
