Hi,
It would like to hear from other Gemplus Developers' view.
We have been developing applications on the 32 bit GemXpresso Java Card for
a year already. However, the upcomng 8-bit Java Card seems to be the
Product of focus.
What is the future for the 32-bit Gemplus Java Card (Gemxpresso) with the
upcoming 8-bit java card?
Is 8-bit Java Card the way to go?
Any information on the AMEX Framework? How does it relate to Visa's VOP?
Regards
Billy NG
