MAXroam micro SIM targeted at Apple tablet
Cubic Telecom's MAXroam label today catered primarily to new iPad owners with a micro SIM card made just for European traveling. The Euro iPad pack supplies a micro SIM card that can supply 50MB of data anywhere in Europe. The card only allows for basic e-mail and web browsing but potentially avoids high roaming fees for vacationers who expect to visit more than one country.
It should also work with any other data-only device that adopts the micro SIM standard in the future.
A card costs 75 euros ($94) with 50MB of data already preloaded and can be extended further depending on the amount of anticipated demand. Obtaining a small 10MB refill costs 25 euros ($31) while another 75 euros will add another 50MB. The new SIM is open for pre-orders now and will ship just after the iPad launch on June 1st.
