New Version of SIM Cards to Offer Increased Functionality

October 29, 2004 Flash Disc pioneer M-Systems has unveiled plans for the MegaSIM Card Module in the second half of 2005. For the first time in the mobile phone market, the MegaSIM card will combine high capacity flash-based storage with densities reaching 256 MB and advanced security features to enable a variety of compelling mobile applications.

As mobile handsets increase their multimedia capabilities and service providers begin implementing broadband mobile service, the need for secured, scalable and configurable high capacity storage becomes acute. The MegaSIM card module will enable SIM card vendors to provide their mobile operator customers with a (U)SIM (universal subscriber identity module) card enabling a variety of advanced mobile services such as MMS, MP3 and video clips downloading, full PIM functionality, and high resolution picture storage.
