It may not have been on the Sony 505. To add a wifi card to an SD slot the driver must be available. The slot itself must support I/O operations, many do not. Technically it must be an SDIO slot but none of the eBook folks have advertised that feature. If the driver is built in or could be reasonably added then it would be possible if you are not using the slot for eBooks or can give up that function. Note that the driver is likely specific to one brand of wifi card so if built in you are likely locked to the one the manufacturer chose.
