South Korea’s leading mobile operator, KTF, announced a new kind of USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) chips/cards that can have up to a gigabyte of internal memory.
Users who opt to grab one of these can have all their contacts and some mobile content stored on a SIM card, only to transfer it easier to the next phone they buy. As a result, PC suite software can become obsolete for some users — switching a SIM card is all it takes to preserve your contacts and other information stored on a mobile phone.
As for the release date, KTF said the new USIM chips will start selling in the second half of the year in 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB “flavors.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
