Facebook in SIM Card
How about Facebook comes embedded inside a SIM card you buy from your nearby store. Yeah its true...a Dutch digital security company Gemalto has made it possible and has announced Facebook for SIM card at the annual world congress in Barcelona. The company has achieved this by shrinking the facebook into such a small size that it can be stored in SIM. Therefore, enabling people to enjoy the Facebook on their GSM networks without a data plan.In doing so, Gemalto is offering Facebook to millions of mobile phone users regardless of their handset type.
The app uses Class 2 SMS to ensure compatibility with the most basic handsets and networks. Class 2 SMS messages are delivered direct to the SIM without the user being involved, and then the application running on the SIM can tell the handset to alert the user.
Gemalto did not reveal any release details, but emerging markets where data plans are ridiculously expensive, or simply not available, is likely the target audience.
