Wii only supports 2GB max. Higher capacity SDHC cards are not compatible.
That is a question you need to pose to nintendo. They are the ones handcuffing 3rd party vendors on periphials. They have supposedly file suit against Nyko for a wireless nunchuk and hat proves they do not want vendors making periphials that attach directly to the Wii.

They could make it with the bluetooth wireless built-in, just like Rockband is doing.

If you read the NEWEST interview on ign the dude says that its Nintendo's STANDARD for them to use the wiimote w/ the "shells".
Kinda sucks but what can you do. The Team is trying their best to deliver the best experience equal to the 360/ps3 version (with a little extra for wii that the others wont be getting..........)

Can't a Firmware Update solve this?

That's fine, but it doesn't mean that Activision should be charing $70 for the shell (the same as the PS3 version). It's like charging $50 for the Wii Wheel, because the PS3 has a $50 steering wheel. The guitar shells should be, at most, $30-40.
Activision is taking advantage of Nintendo's policy and swindling the consumers.
if it's less than $200, i would orgasm right here. this just looks amazing, i am totally gonna trade in rock band when it comes out.
according to gamestop, it's been priced at $180. i'll be getting a nearly-overdue refund for my gh3, so i'll really only be paying $80 for it

And you are wrong about that. Rockband is not Bluetooth like the Wii Remotes. I am telling you Nintendo does not want 3rd party vendors making periphials that might infridge onthier Bluetooth design.

So here's the part where I would normally write about the responsiveness of the wireless guitar (which communicates with the Wii via a USB wireless receiver dongle).
The Wii could support more than 2GB if all Nintendo did was send down a firmware update to allow for SDHC.
Anyone who says it's not possible doesn't understand the technology. Many originally SD-only digital cameras have received updates to allow SDHC. Heck, my ancient Palm T3 is getting a driver written for it by a Palm hacker who's writing SDHC drivers for tons of old Palms never meant to support SDHC.
And yes requiring you to stick a Wii remote into a shell is a Major FAIL on the part of Nintendo and 3rd-parties. And then charging MORE for the shell than they charge for the all-inclusive higher-tech XBox and Playstation guitars is downright unjustified criminal theft and raping of the consumer.
