I recently received my card, and reading the document here:
http://fellowship.fsfe.org/card.en.html
referred me to the instructions here:
http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch01.html

Under s1.1, it suggests the OpenPGP card only has 1024 bit RSA, which
many people are now trying to phase out.  I personally use 4096 bit
RSA for PGP and SSH purposes.

As for choosing a card reader, I came across this page:
http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch02s02.html

but it is dated March 2007 - is there any updated advice/suggestions
available?

I have previously had some correspondence with gooze
http://www.gooze.eu/
they are open-source friendly but they have also told me about a year
ago that they can only supply cards up to 2048 bit (that is now the
minimum accepted by Debian, for example) but would look for 4096 bit
cards if there was sufficient interest.
