If it is allowed on the older tablets (and it is) there is no reason to assume it won't be on the HD line. For one thing, they've moved *away* from the old partitioning scheme that reserved the bulk of onboard storage for commercial content.

But yes, an explicit mention that you *can* sideload content even if you can't sideload apps would be reassuring. Maybe the next review to pop up...
