SK Telecom unveils Android SIM card prototype

on 02/19/2010 10:21 PDT

MWC 2010 was the platform where SK Telecom unveiled the first Wireless LAN SIM card which works best with Android-powered smartphones. After all, this SIM card will use Telenor’s built-in Wi-Fi module in order to make your device function like a mobile hotspot, enabling computers as well as other compatible devices to hook up to the Internet through itself and the handset’s wireless connection. No idea on when such a SIM card will see action anytime soon, but we’re guessing that South Korea might just be the first country to do so.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
