I did alot of work on the applet, a couple of years ago, profiling its cypto, 
object and pin model for a custom embedded application.
 
We have to recognise that it has little commercial future, compared to more 
advanced applet architectures for ICCs/javacards - that US got pumps money into
 
What is does represent is possibly the ONLY mainstream, open technology 
smartcards internals, that the average person can get their hands on. Its a 
great learning tool.
 
One has to recognize, as we did in our project, that javacard architecture is 
not the ony approach. We ended up build a custom card (a spinoff of a PIV card) 
in C, without the intepreter, that also bunded GlobalPlatform. It was just a 
better "Engineering" approach. If you are going to build a hihgly custom 
javacard, you might aswell just build a custom card. At least you have direct 
control of your COS and the hardware resources, then. I know we needed that, to 
talk to the ICC's co-processor in a way that javacards COS prevented one from 
accomplishing.
