Now the credit - card sized shaping thing that cellphone SIM unit are shipped in can take the cellphone ’s associated data files , thanks to Gemalto ’s DVD - SIM “ Smart Video Card . ” In the name of convergence ( and mayhap environmental friendliness ) the company is making the card for the Italian operator winding , where the DVD section has driver for personal computer to earmark wireless cyberspace admittance . The data segment will fit up to 50 megabit , and it ’s clearly better than make a vacuous chip of plastic ( which you normally bin anyway ) and an extra CD . But I can see two problem : snapping off the SIM portion of the gimmick is bound to leave you with little plasticky bits that unbalance the videodisk part when you put it in a private road , and it ’s only sound to work on tray - loading drives . Convergence gone mad . [ Intomobile ]
