Yeah, but what I'm saying is that the two parts are complementary. You can't use the EI SD card without the support bits, and, without the card, the support bits are useless.

To be clear, by "support bits", I'm talking about the slot to put the card in, plus the rest that makes that slot actually connect to something internal to the device.

My understanding of the way things are supposed to go is: manufacturers include the support bits in the item for very little cost, and then the consumer can choose to internet-enable the device by putting an EI card into it.
