I thought that for a second, but that's not like any SD card socket I've seen.3G module perhaps?Dave.

I think the development time for the Fire was very tight, and I suspect the hardware had to be in production before the software was finished.Flashing the eeprom to test the final unit can be slow, and if there are bugs, unreliable, so it makes sense they test with a flash memory emulator.
