GPS in a SIM

Not all mobile phones have a GPS receiver and many users could benefit from it. Sagem-Orga and BlueSky Positioning have a solution for those of us that have a SIM card reader: SIMply-A-GPS.
Such a small device incorporates a GPS receiver, antenna and the software required for the GPS navigation. You may wonder how this was possible, but it is true.

When you need GPS navigation, simply insert it and the phone (be it GSM or 3G) will recognize it without any problems. It can even work on old handsets, without the need for any modifications. Unfortunately, no release date is known at the moment.
