One purpose is to load firmware onto the controller. One of the good things of the Squeezebox stuff is that the SD people tend to build generic devices that end up donig more than they had ever imagined. The controller is basically a tiny Linux computer with Wifi. The SD card slot adds external storage to that. That greatly enhances the possibilities for people who like to tinker. I like the duet because it show clearly that Logitech/SD keep their eyes on the 'network' as a whole and not just a single device. I already have 4 SB3's so I won't be getting a duet myself, but I might buy another controller for the bedroom even though I dislike the price. Truth is that there's just not enough competition in this market.
