msystems to launch 1gb sim card by the year end

Link: webitpr – online press release distribution and monitoring.

msystems, a leader in smart personal storage, today announced the availability of high-capacity mSIM MegaSIM cards through its Microelectronica subsidiary.

In addition to the currently available 128-megabyte, 256-megabyte and 512-megabyte msystems MegaSIM SIM cards, 1-gigabyte MegaSIM products, planned for commercial availability by the end of the year, will be mass produced at the Company’s Microelectronica facility in Spain.

Now if mobile operators can add a MegaSIM to the handset they give to a consumer, that will really open things up — particularly if you’ve got half a gig or a gig’s worth of additional space as a result.

It puts today’s 200 odd phone book capacity sims to shame.
