New Toshiba PDA (Palm Pilot) with PCMCIA slot - Ultraportable P2 Dumping Solution?

I ran into this new device when browsing Engadget this morning. It is a Toshiba PDA, that uses a clamshell design (like a laptop). But since the device is so small, you can't use a keyboard, so the bottom part (where the keyboard would normally go in a laptop) is actually a 2nd screen that is touch sensitive (like a Nintendo DS). The cool thing is that it has a PCMCIA slot. Could this be the ultraportable P2 dumping solution many have been waiting for? Prices and specs are still very scarce, but I thought this looked interesting.

Sorry, but I don't see the PCMCIA slot, all I see is an SD slot. Am I missing something. With a bit of storage it would be great.
 
I am wondering if Engadget mislabeled the slot next to the SD Card Slot (which appears to be a Compact flash slot) as a PCMCIA slot since the port kindof looks like one (having the little "eject" lever and all). There is always the possibility that the PCMCIA is located on the backside of the unit, but I doubt that.

Here is the link to the Engadget article. They say it "appears" to have a PCMCIA slot, which makes me believe that they saw it in a picture, and since none of the pictures show off one, I fear that they did mislabel the CF slot for PCMCIA :(
