I remember _ages_ ago when a friend of mine first found iButtons talking 
about this and apparently they're designed for that sort of interfacing 
(I'd have to double check though.)  They can run a jvm on them though. 
 That might be what I was thinking.  Java has trouble access outwards 
(security stuff) but what about having info pushed at it?  The button, 
with a jvm, could, when activated, look for an appropriate applet and 
feed it the info needed...  I'm not a java coder so I'm not sure if this 
would work.
