Feitian has a similar product with known keys and running JavaCard in the form of an USB token - http://www.ftsafe.com/product/epass/eJavaToken . Also much cheaper than the Yubikey, see http://javacardos.com/store/smartcard_eJavaToken.php . No NXP proprietary stuff on it and no NDA required either.

I did visit their site some weeks ago, but I'm not a fan of bundling a card reader with a card like that. It's better to buy a separate card reader, java cards themselves can go for as low as $2 each, maybe even cheaper.

NXP is just one of many vendors, they sell blank java cards too.

EDIT: $25 shipping fee is very inflexible.
