Scott, The link you provided is correct.

Paul, It is a smartcard designed to hold PGP/GPG keys. Typically you
would place your subkeys that you use for daily use on there and keep
your primary key on other media you could backup. You can actually
generate the key on the card so there is no way to get the key off of it
for backup purposes or you can copy an existing PGP/GPG key on to the card.

	As for pricing, the only pricing on the site is in Euros and it ranges
from 13.90 to 16.40 depending on how many are ordered. 10+ is 13.90
Euros. It also notes that on orders of 50+ it could be customized.
