And there are harddisks that sport ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands.
Peter is spot on. Architecture and iron are orthogonal considerations.
There are only two competing architectures today: ISO/IEC 7816-4/-15 and TCG.
Either can fit on any token.
7816 is too conceptually too small. TCG is conceptually too large.

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conceptual world is out of date.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.
Peter.
