If people are looking into getting the OpenPGP smartcard (v2), you might
want to also look at the Cryptostick[0] which is an opensource project
that has all the features of the OpenPGPv2 card and more.

I've never used anything other than SecureID and I don't have any SmartCard readers..  Sounds like the GPF CryptoStick is definitely the way to go for me...  Anybody know where to buy the GPF CryptoStick in the USA? I saw a "CryptoStick" for $300 and I also know about the IronKeys for ~$250... I don't even know how much it's costed to get our SecureIDs where I work, I'm sure it was way too much..
