Plastic sim cards have been around for quite some time now. They have been of help but let's talk of their disadvantages. One. If it gets damaged or lost you have to buy a new one. Do I have to talk of loss of data if you hadn't backed up your contacts for example? Two. There are times when you need services from various operators and with the sim card, you have to keep a number of them and keep swapping. We could go on and on but why bother? Here comes the Esim.

Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality devices are soon going to be the very thing smart phones are today. Watch that space. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. What is Augmented reality?

This however doesn't raise much hope for Windows Phone users as this may not be the first time that the Redmond based company discontinues a device while still in its development stage. So well, keep your fingers crossed. You never know with Microsoft.
