Yeah, Kernel Concepts sells the OpenPGP card in a SIM breakout style too.

I really wanted the CryptoStick, looks like they're temporarily about of stock pending the new 2.0 revision, but not holding my breath.

Yeah, I guess I just don't trust smartcards all that much from a hardware security perspective, vs. modules with battery inside a metal envelope. I'm sad Maxim/DS killed the Crypto iButton line -- it was a great compromise between smartcard cost ($20-30) and HSM physical security. The software was never great, though.
