After our years-long attempts at getting the slightest bit of information about the largely invisible roadmap, we got.. zero response.. Even mentioning the 11 million potential users didn't get their attention.. My impression: Apple, being a US company, needs to appear "patriotic" and "supporting the troops" etc.. so they cannot help but support CAC cards, but otherwise, if you have a business model based on anything smart-card related involving Apple Inc..
