Wow this is an incredible product. Imagine loading up a card with just enough money for like 8 beers, and going out for a night lol

Hot on the heels of this SatsCard, is TapSigner!
FAQ - TAPSIGNER smartcard, by Coinkite #8559

"With 10 slots, you can use a @SATSCARD over and over."
"Use this instead of a paper wallet."
"How do I get funds out?" "Unseal the current slot (factory default slot is zero) and export the WIF." "Import the WIF into a wallet on the blockchain and sweep the funds."
"Is the private key unique and secret?" "Yes. SATSCARD comes with a private key for slot zero only. You can supply entropy (random numbers) to generate keys for the remaining slots as you use them."
"The factory-generated address is made from the block hash (at the "birth height" of the card) and a random number that never leaves the card."
"Can I reseal after unsealing a slot?" "No. Unsealing a slot causes a permanent change to the chip's flash memory."
"We expect most SATSCARD units to be loaded once, probably with a "round number" of Bitcoins and unloaded exactly once in their lifetime. It's impossible to know what's happened in the meantime — just like a gold coin that has passed through many hands over the years."
"SATSCARD is a very safe and effective way of generating uncompromised private keys. We suggest using a new slot (not the factory-assigned slot) for this purpose."

I think this is a cool product. What price will these cars sell at?

I don't think pricing info has been made public yet.
The OpenDimes are ~$15, ... which to me, kind of shows that Coinkite doesn't have a history of gouging.
