In case of a SIM sized smart card and the current CryptoStick plastic casing, I believe the same that it is more likely the token than a normal card.

GPG related question: do you use gpg or gpg2 with CryptoStick? I just set up 4k keys but on Linux only gpg can be used to decrypt (gpg2 does not find the key) and on OS X nothing works for decrypting, only signing...
