suggested to implement the SIM access profile.
Why? I don't see any advantages in this
Did you have a look at the spec?
http://nibbler.de/attic/bluetooth/profile%20SAP%20v1.1.pdf
See page 23 and 32.
It basically implements a minimalistic remote card reader that forwards APDUs to and from the SIM. All the lower level protocols have already been implemented e.g. in the Linux kernel.
While it might indeed be not a thing to implement first, it still looks worth keeping it in mind and interfaces open for a later integration of SAP as a convenient way to access SIMs remotely.
cheers, nibbler
p.s. don't spread the link as i don't know exactly about the copyright implications of all the bluetooth documents in that folder. I happened to have an account for the SIG document repository thus found it handy to mirror the specification documents which to my knowledge are not publicly available.
