Not if you expect to make more money from selling cloud services than 
you can make from some tiny margin between sdcard reader and increased 
price for a model with sdcard reader, it doesn't.

Apple is leading the way on the project of beating drums behind the 
lemmings after carefully arranging the rocks at the bottom, numerous 
other concerns are harmonizing on the bongos; I think the whole idea of 
a cloud-centric thin-client (as demonstrated by Chrome) is nuts, because 
if somebody hacks the right subcomponents, there goes the whole deal, 
but it's definitely a profitable business from what I can see.
