That. . . is really awesome. Also, more things pointing towards a slim, that mobo we saw didn't seem to have memory slots, and now we know why. I'm officially intrigued by the slim rumors now.

This is exactly what I was going to say.  More proof that the slim leaked mobo photos are real as this update removes the need for memory cards and like you said, the photos showed no more memory card slots on the mobo.

There was one memory card slot on that motherboard fella.

 

OT - great to hear although some people will try and spin this as a negative as always.

No there weren't.  At least not confirmed.  The only place a memory card slot could have been was at the bottom right which I'm hoping was just 2 USB ports like the old models to keep some USB ports at the front.  The other usb port looking thing to the left is where the Ring of Light module plugs into.

 

Notice how the USB ports on a mobo have those same indentation prongs like the bottom right section of the new mobo picture:

(yes I know this says USB 3.0, but USB 2.0 on mobos is the same way so long as there isn't aything on top of them like that ethernet port.  This picture showed it the easiest)

The memory card slots on the old mobo had no such indented prongs on top.  You can also see the Ring of Light Module connector in about the same spot on both mobos:
