  Too bad they didn't have an Infinity Blade 3 demo.

  I may be wrong... but iOS7 seems way faster on 5S then on 5. Haven't tested GM on 5 yet. But all previous beta wont anywhere need as "instant" and "smooth" as the video as shown.
  
  And this is with new Hardware that i think still has some more potential from Software and Compiler optimization.

  @Brian Klug, Can you unlock the phone via fingerprint scan without pressing the physical unlock button first? Thank you both for the great coverage!

  Never mind!

  Time to organize a kickstarter to send Brian Klug to touchscreen typing school? ;)

  Should get him a 70D or something while we're at it... I kid!
  
  Nice hands on video, I'm rather jealous of the fingerprint reader... Seems like a good alternative to the pins and patterns (unlike Google's face detect thing). Moto had something exactly like this on the Atrix over two years ago, I wonder why it didn't gain any traction on Android? (AFAIK no other Android phone ever had a print reader)

  Also, how hard would it be to lift a print from the glass display or elsewhere and then crate a fake (silicon? Latex?) fingerprint to full the sensor?

  Yikes, ghastly typos.
  
  create a fake... to fool...

  Apparently this is suppose to read sub-dermal as well so the it should be more resistant to commonly available methods such as the ones you describe.
