The advantage of the OpenPGP card is that is is a specification that
it is open and ready for everyone to implement.  No proprietary
strings attached as usual in the smartcard business.  So go write an
application according to the specs and it will, run with any card
compliant with the spec.  Any vendor may implement this spec on his
card.  Whether you do this on a slow 4 Euro chip or a fast 8 Euro chip
or on an iButton is up to you.  Our card is just one implementation of
the spec using an expensive chip.
