Rumor: USB storage for the Wii in development after all?

Any Wii owner who has downloaded plenty of Virtual Console games and channels should be well aware of the Wii's limited storage capabilities. It's been hinted at for some time now that Nintendo were working on a solution. Nintendo has closed the rumors, then reopened them, and then closed them again. But now, a new job listing on the Nintendo website entitled "Software/Hardware Tester". Listed below are the job requirements.

Description of Duties

* Creating and executing a test plan for Wii’s USB devices
* Executing test plans with great attention to detail and documenting bugs
* Writing test procedure documents, gathering, and learning required software/hardware
* Reproducing bug reports and helping find work-arounds or resolutions

Summary of Requirements

* Extremely thorough with keen attention to detail and accuracy
* Able to execute scripted tasks lists with regular repetition
* Ability to reliably report and track defects via spreadsheets or other bug tracking software with great detail

Obviously, a possible candidate for a USB attachment would be an external storage device for the Wii. There is absolutely no confirmation on just what Nintendo will be working on, but it's good to know that they are looking into USB attachments now.
