SIMply A-GPS - new SIM card tech can transform every mobile phone into a GPS sat-nav



The SIMply A-GPS SIM card from Sagem-Orga and BlueSky Positioning
embeds A-GPS satellite navigation onto a standard 3G/GSM SIM card,
thereby turning an ordinary vanilla mobile phone handset into a
glorious GPS enabled satellite navigation system. What’s amazing is
the fact that they have managed to squeeze the whole GPS receiver,
antenna and application software onto a standard sized card, which
means it will fit inside every mobile phone on the planet.
