SIMPLE (Superheated Instrument for Massive ParticLE searches) employs superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter. As a result of the intrinsic SDD insensitivity to minimum ionizing particles and high fluorine content of target liquids, a competitive WIMP sensitivity has been obtained already at the prototype stage. We comment here on the expected immediate increase in sensitivity of the program, which aims at an exposure of >25 kg-day during the year 2000.
