Are there any credit cards that run Java?

7

When installing Java I noticed credit cards listed among the devices that run Java. Is this true? How do they work?

Or Smart cards in general. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Card

That's going to have to be one very quick boot time to run the code on the card. One hopes it is possible – therobyouknow – 2011-11-29T12:49:11.767

A stackoverflow.com question perhaps? – therobyouknow – 2011-11-29T12:49:23.483

@therobyouknow Definitely not on topic for Stack Overflow. There's no (programming) problem to be solved. – slhck – 2011-11-29T13:32:44.860

I think there is a Card API that runs on smartcard chips on credit cards.
