First, the Eye-Fi <\/a>added Wi-Fi to any camera with an SD card. Now, the Sagem Orga<\/a> SIMFi does something similar. It’s a SIM card that adds Wi-Fi capabilities to cellphones…Wi-Fi hotspot <\/em>capabilities, that is.<\/p>\n

Just like the Eye-Fi, the SIMFi runs its own integrated software, meaning there shouldn’t be any special setup on your phone. You pretty much just plug it into a phone and you’re good to connect a laptop, or any other Wi-Fi device, to the internet at 3G speeds. <\/p>\n

For the time being, it may just be a proof of concept that’s being shopped around to interested entities like AT&T or T-Mobile. You know, so someone can charge you an extra monthly fee for the thing.
