No. It wouldn't fit in a freerunner (GTA02). I pointed it out because it is from the same supplier as the 3G module in the GTA04 and appears intended to be interchangable, but is slightly bigger.

Whether they feel enough people will buy one to make the extra work worthwhile is another matter entirely. Is this card compatible 3g ? Yes. Follow the link and it shows you which standards and radio bands it works in. Note the limited 4G bands, meaning it won't work with 4G in some countries, a limitation that seems to apply to all 4G products at the moment.

Any low volume product that isn't backed by a big corporate is going to be a bit behind the times simply because the manufacturers won't release That said, the 4G issue looks like a relatively easy problem to solve.
