Smart Card functionality question

Although I have played around with my smart cards a little bit I have been too busy to actually do much with it. I have a question regarding how it functions. I understand that the card needs to be inserted in order to write to it. However, is there a way to read it without inserting it such as an RFID card does? If not then I guess I will need to order the RFID Reader/Writer in order to complete my project.

    Dude do you know something about how much the RFID transponder tags of Parallax can be rewritten?

    Different technology. The Smart Card requires insertion for both read and write.

    No RF involved.
