I know many of us have been wondering, what is that little flap on the side of the Wii? Well, this article... doesn't really answer questions, but there is a pretty sweet pic. of the Wii in comparison to a person. So, for you people who haven't noticed the flap, here's some news for you, anyway.
We know the name, we know about the controller speaker, about the motion detection, about the pointer control, but apparently that's not enough. Now fans have latched onto a little flap on the petite Wii and have become convinced that it hides the secret to eternal life, or perhaps a 3D hologram projector. Another, just as credible idea, is that the flap covers up a slot where you can plug in DS games. What about, I don't know, a place to stick memory cards. Nintendo fans sure do love their conspiracies.

Yes. Obviously I read the kotaku articles. I was just stating the definate use. It's all just speculation in the article.
Ok, I didn't know if it had een confirmed yet, I hadn't heard that yet.
Incase anyone hasn't seen the second flap, here's a closeup image.

Four GC controller ports, 2 GC Memory Card slots.
heh, originally i thought the flash card flap was a gamecube disc drive.
I saw the flap and didnt think anything of it.
I probably thought it was an outlet or something

Its where the SD cards go.
The upper flap houses the memory cards/GQ controllers.
It looks like it just slides open.
You might push it in then it comes out.
Maybe you open it and it says "Welcome to Wii"
