Podcasting and the Super SIM
I suspect one of the most interesting technological developments of the year may well be the Super Sim, which was unveiled by by Orange yesterday at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona.
It’s a new mega Sim card you can slot into you phone, and which can store up to 130 music tracks, half a movie, 50 games, or whatever enterprising entrepreneurs can think of. No doubt they will get bigger and bigger fairly quickly, storing more and more data. That will give the iPod a run for its money - after all we all carry our phones with us most of the time, so it would be handy if we could just plug our ears into that.
Yet I suspect, it may also give podcasting its real kick into the mainstream. Use your phone to downlaod and store podcasts, then listen to them when you want to. What could be simpler or more convenient than that?
