Why the MicroSIM Apple?
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 08:00 AM
"The iPad 3G due in a couple days, as well as the leaked iPhone HD both use MicroSIMs instead of the standard sim cards. Why's that? Is it just a matter of size? Well, apparently not."
More like couple of weeks for the iPad since they are scheduled now for around May 7th, but why the MicroSIMs? It appears for the extra features, or at least that is what this article says, and they include multiple applications simultaneously accessing the card, prevention of sim spoofing, new PIN protection and expansion of the phonebook storage.
