Samsung and Apple "to face off" with fingerprint-scanning tablets

Shopping via mobile devices is about to receive a dual boost this fall, if the latest rumors are correct – with Samsung about to join Apple with a high-end tablet built with fingerprint security built in.
The tablet, under a new brand Tab S, will include a fingerprint sensor similar to the one found in Samsung’s hit Galaxy S5 smartphone, as reported by the The Verge. Unlike Apple’s fingerprint scanner, used in the flagship iPhone 5S – and rumored to be a new addition to the next iPad Mini, as reported by We Live Security here – Samsung’s fingerprint scanner is open to third-party companies, creating financial apps for use in-store and online.
