I've seen some pretty good 3D renderings:

But what are all the edge slots for? Peripherals? I thought Nintendo decided to do less of those based on the over abundance of Wii add-ons.
What add-on/peripheral(s) could they use? Vitality sensor?
Wasn't there an old rumor that the Wii U controller would sit on top of the Wii U or a charge staion and function as a clock, digital photo frame, or other display? I could easily see family pictures in a Nintendo ad directed at casual gamers. Of course there are cheap digital photo frames out there, but that's not the point. Multifunction devices are king now.
Speaking of that, any chance of CD/DVD/Bluray playback. I love using my PS3 to store my CD library and play tunes based on my mood. Pandora? Netflix? Google TV?
In Japan I hear that TV tuners are popular. Could that be possible with the Wii U? It'd be a cool picture in picture sort of setup with the Wii U carrying one of the streams. I doubt it based on Nintendo wanting to concentrate on games, but there is no such thing as a single function device anymore. Who here even wears a watch when you cell phone has the time on it as well as serving so many other functions.
Are there any other aspects of the Cafe/Stream that haven't been considered since the Wii U was revealed? Was the Stream even actually a code name?
