It's been awhile since we've heard from Reggie following his big promotion and in his latest chat with Game Informer, he confirms that the mystery flap on the front of the Wii will house the SD Card slot. In stating this, Reggie says that the SD Card is the only "announced" memory medium, so it's quite possible that Nintendo has another system up their sleeves.As for WiiConnect24 and micro transactions, Reggie sees this as digital delivery for smaller content for games, such as exclusive items or news headlines. In the interview, he says that this will be available to third parties, but is not something that will be forced upon them.

How about an optional online storage system for save games?

^proof that they wont only be using SD memory. under "Other Features" at the very bottom, it states "Two slots for Nintendo Gamecube Memory Cards." i know its not exactly ideal, but they run cheaper than SD right now.

The GC Mem cards are above the 4 GC controller ports(on the side of the wii) The SD memory slot will be an addition to the 2 GameCube Memory Cards. Keep in mind that there are converters for SD to allow diff types of flash cards, (MMC,CF,ect.) I beleive Iwata has stated that these would work on the wii as well. And by the way #4, your link just proved you wrong. I quote, "A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory." =)
