I'm all for research on the uses of haptic feedback and biometrics to a point on mobile devices but I'm not too keen on the RFID on a mobile device.
The only issue I have with biometrics is the mapping of one's fingerprints. Let's say that the biometrics are incorporated into the next version of the iPhone, and the OS (and presumably apps) then has the ability to map certain functions to certain fingerprints. What is to stop Apple (or any other manufacturer utilizing similar technology or app developer for that matter) from accessing this information? I have nothing to worry about but that is still more information about me than I want just anyone to have.
