Sagem Orga, in partnership with BlueSky is targeting the array of cellphones (and presumably mobile-internet enabled PCs and such) that currently don’t have GPS with this new invention: a SIM card with AGPS aboard. Clever stuff indeed, packing all the chips for a “highly accurate GPS receiver”, wiring and antenna into a thumbnail-sized space. We’ve got to wonder how good its satellite fixes will be with such a small device though, and since it looks like every gadget that comes out has GPS aboard nowadays, adding GPS to a device via its SIM card might just be a temporary stopgap option. But it’ll undeniably have lots of applications when it hits the market. [BGR]
