Today Verizon Wireless added several new companies to its mix of Long Term Evolution technology partners. First, Verizon selected Giesecke & Devrient to provide Java-based SIM cards, which will help Verizon provide new LTE-based data services. Verizon also picked Gemalto to provide an over-the-air platform and LTE Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), which will help Verizon Wireless deliver a more secure and more reliable multimedia data connection, provide global roaming and the ability to remotely add new UICC card applications.

Hmm, Java-based SIM cards...
It sure will be very, very interesting to see what sort of handsets Verizon has 14-18mo`s from now.
I just hope batteries get much, much better in the next 18 months, as phones become ever more increasingly multimedia centric.
