Tablet manufacturers would have to be stupid to build full fledged SD card support into tablets-and they're not stupid.

That means no SD card and USB slot support for tablets. Learn to love cloud services-that's the tablet maker's preferred solution.
It is actually the opposite: Why in the world would anyone pay for overpriced built-in memory when SD cards are so cheap? The people who fall for this are ruining it for everyone else. As for the cloud, zero chance of that for me, that is taking a huge step backwards. Content like ebooks and movies and music should be kept local.
