[/img]The GSM Association is taking a serious look at embedded SIM
cards that can be remotely activated, in both traditional (e.g.
phones) and non-traditional devices (e.g. cameras, MP3 players).
According to the presser, a task force has been assembled, culled from
"leading technical experts" whose home turfs include virtually every
major worldwide carrier. An "analysis of market requirements" is due
in January 2011, and devices with the new technology are reportedly
expected in 2012.
If all that sounds familiar, perhaps you'll recall a recent rumor that
pegged Apple and SIM gurus Gemalto as privately collaborating on a
similar (if not virtually identical) idea. Coincidence? Don't blame us
if your Krispy Kreme Android phonelet's nanoSIM doesn't mesh with the
iPhone 6.
