Not only are you dismissing cost and size as reasons to not add in SD cards, but the lost revenue if people use fewer cloud-based resources from Apple. So at least 3 reasons exist for Apple to leave out SD cards in mobile devices that don't exist for the widgets.

And what battery life implications are there for widgets??? Widgets can help save battery life tremendously.

Also don't understand how an SD card can have significant UI implications. Huh?
