Yes. Ecards are based on the vcard, and that's what you will be able to save directly to your phone, or export from the website. What we add is a visual layer and other metadata like social networking profiles.

This counts for phone to phone sharing, but also for sending your card to an email. Recipients will get your visual card, and a vcard as attachment.

Fantastic! Congratulations for building on open standards.

If you have any time for this kind of thing, maybe the draft of vCard 4.0 would be of interest to you. We added synchronization features, and there is an extension being written for social networking.
