Integrated A-GPS SIM Card
It used to be that having a digital camera built into your mobile phone made you the envy of all your friends.
These days, it’s pretty standard fare. By the same accord, having location-based services on your cell phone is still a pretty novel feature, but it could become much more mainstream with this new innovation from Sagem Orga.
The smart card maker has developed a regular old SIM card that happens to integrated assisted-GPS (A-GPS) positioning technology. As a result, phones that don’t have integrated A-GPS can gain that positioning ability. Granted, aGPS is probably not accurate enough to provide you with turn-by-turn directions in real time, but it is good enough to provide for some interesting location-based services.
