Background on the B-Unit: http://www.bloomberg.com/bunit/Overview_Features.pdf
Definitely an interesting device.
In what way? Bloomberg uses custom hardware developed in-house (the "B-unit") for four-factor authentication (password, biometric, visual sync, token). These devices are sent to customers all over the world where there is no control over them. All of the device and biometric enrollment is done through the software remotely when the device is received by the end user. So in my experience it is definitely possible to do this outside of the typical employee/enterprise scenario.
