Or they simply want to have a more standard feature set across the board with certain "upgrades" as you step up the ladder. I mean how much of a per unit saving would we be talking by leaving the slot off? (although I suppose given the number of times folks have problems with their device seeing their card it probably saves some support costs I guess)
