Yes what you have said is very correct. I see this as being the most important homebrew app that has been made for the DC as it opens new possibilities to the system. I will be very excited when I hear that OS's or emulators are taking advantage of this. I think the developer of the technology should take pre orders and then get the serial connectors made at a factory somewhere in china. Realistically there is a market for about 200-300 people. I could be wrong though. But look at the success of Pier Solar for the Megadrive. The Euro version has already sold out and it isnt even finished yet. This would suggest not to under estimate the popularity of Retro!
Anyways as there isnt a cable in production yet and possibly might not be I think its important for a detailed tutorial to made about how to make an inbuild one to the dreamcast which doesnt need the serial connector. I think I may do this as I have experience modding electronics but I havent been able to find any info on it. This would increase the amount of users with SD card slots and hopefully then encourage developers to support it.
