Generally I don't trust anything Kaplan says. She's funny and all, but her facts are wrong ALL the time, whereas other Nintendo Execs are much better at the cloak and dagger (mis)information work.
Now that they actually opened up the USB ports for standard keyboard drivers, I have no doubt Nintendo have been figuring out their external memory plans for a while. It's just a question of how late they think they can leave it, and when they think they can protect their interests (i.e. totally encrypted on foreign devices).
