Does anyone know what this is? This is the first time I heard about it. Also, what carriers are using MicroSIM and do you think it'll come to the US?

I'm assuming since AT&T is already home to the iPhone that they have microSim cards lined up waiting to get iPad-ified in 90 days or whenever the release is.

Judging from the name I'm gonna assume it's like micro-SD cards are to regular SD cards. Smaller than a normal SIM; potentially stronger, faster, and more agile.

It's an odd one. I personally think it's a sinister way of locking people in. I'm not aware of any carrier in the world deploying micro-SIMS, there'd be entire continents that have never even considered it!

What it will do, is stop you using your "unlocked" device on any carrier that doesn't have an agreement with Apple.

It also forces you pay for a seperate data service, as you can't "swap" your iPhone SIM into the iPad.

Nasty actually!

Oh, the endless elaboration on the evil intent of Apple! If other carriers (in the US) don't want to embrace the smaller, lighter microSIM form factor, then of course it mist be some evil plot to chain us to the wall!
Get real. Unlocked is unlocked - Apple in this instance is being as Open as the networking environment will allow, and se people still manage to turn it into Conspiracy Theory 101.

From what I understand, MicroSim is being rolled out across all of Europe and most of the rest of the world. As usual, the US is late to the party. I would say this is probably a newer LTE technology.
