Samsung figures there must be people with over a million contacts on their phone, so why not put a Gigabyte of storage capacity in a SIM card? Ah, we’re just kiddin’ on the contacts, but it’s the real deal for the gig of storage. Samsung didn’t provide many details in terms of availability and there’s no mention of any phone carriers offering this super-SIM just yet either. Still, cramming a bunch of storage in a card your GSM phone already needs is an innovative move. I’m sure the fact that Samsung is a world leader in flash memory production has absolutely nothing to do with this product. ;)
