could be.. i was thinking of it being an editting tool, but we only know one thing about that box.. its pink

im confused.. where these pics come from?

I'm happily married and know my wife ALWAYS seems to know what's up. If you can't take a joke, you got a problem.

OT: It is about time we get more space. I'm worried what WiiWare will do to my space...

First of all, this is in no proof of USB storage. It's a file system driver which powers SD cards (and likely the internal memory), and a (possibly independent) USB host driver.

Second, this driver apparently supports SDHD cards above 2GiB, which may be the only point addressed in an eventual firmware upgrade, if such an upgrade is all it takes. However, 32GiB SDHD cards have just started to become available, which I'd say is plenty enough for the Wii.

Finally, supporting off-the-shelf SD cards and/or USB pens/disks, for things like storing VC games is more of a philosophical issue than a technical one. Such games can already be backed up to SD cards (and from there to your computer). They are encripted however, to prevent piracy, and probably aren't encripted in the internal memory. It is unlikely that games will ever be stored unencripted in an external storage device, except maybe if it's a Nintendo proprietary solution... maybe. Running games directly from encripted external storage, can lead to much larger game-loading times, so I wouldn't put much faith in that.

Ah, KruzeS explained it best.

did homelesscarl get banned for that "joke" by any chance?

On topic, this sounds pretty cool, i need more memory already! and Wiiware aint even out yet!

Off-topic: You should never insult women, not even in jokes. NEVER.

On-topic: Wait... wasn't this supported already? But is good to see that they can add support for bigger and faster SD cards. Just as I told you, via a firmware upgrade.

Im thick. :/

In english does this mean we'll be able to play VC games straight from the SD card?

homelesscarl got banned for something he said elsewhere.

On-topic: Not sure what this really means, though I'm guessing KruzeS explained things.

I do know that those Smash pics wouldn't prove anything...Wii has always supported saving information either on the Wii's flash memory or an SD card...and by how blocks that Wii has left in that Smash Bros pic, it doesn't suggest any extra internal storage...
