The iPad MicroSim Deal: It Adapts With Some Cutting...
January 30, 2010
The non-standard Sim Card required by Apple's iPad might not be as much of a drag after all.
As a reminder, instead of the SimCard we all know, the 3G version of the iPad requires a 3FF card (or Micro Sim) to function. The motives behind this confusing decision are still unclear, but it's most likely just a way to prevent people from using the iPad's Data plan on their iPhone.
Well, stay reassured. All in all this new form factor is actually not that different from the old one. The only change resides in the plastic part of the card, so simple scissors and maybe some tape will be all you need to switch...
