One thing that concerns me about the Wiikey is the ability to update from a disk. At first I thought they had found a way to execute arbitrary code (homebrew) but after some research, dug this up:

So this chip may have an inadvertant flaw in it.

Yeah could be, that stuff is pretty technical, but I guess it could be quashed with a future firmware update. That's really up to the coders, perhaps there will be a soft mod that is completely reversible to try out.
