Stop thinking of smartcards as either memory or uP cards, in my view: this conceptual world is out of date. In the short term further, smartcard become "programmable id cards", with a TPM, so the issuer controls the user's access to the crypto/keystores, does mandatory key escrow etc. Muscle/CAC style cardedge get replaced by the TPM cardedge. You can already get TPMs in the 7816-1 module formfactor.
