Bring your own SIM would be an interesting option and something I've
seen in newer UMPCs and even laptops.   I could definitely see using a
data-only plan for the tablet.  I'm generally fine with my bluetooth
to cellular connection, but dedicated data service would be pretty
nice.

No idea whether there is space for the radio, but a SIM slot seems
like it would fit in pretty easily.
