This is frickin' great!
Look at it? It probably has one flaw - it can easily get lost and you may never find it being so small!

But, correct me if I am wrong, why would one need an SD slot and in such a place like back of it?
The idea is never turn it around trying to slide any card in it. If they had to include SD slot - why not put it in the front?

I'd rather see ExpressCard/34 slot in it so I can use eSATA. There would be more options for expansion.
For SD slot I have no use at all - there is nothing in my house that uses SD card and USB card readers are cheap as dirt.
