The picture on the site is Estonian ID card. Being an Estonian I'm pretty sure that unlike our neighbours Finns our card is actually used a lot. The main driver is the ability to do your stuff from home, without going to some office during business hours. Given the size of Finland I'd expect it to be very useful in northern parts of the country.
