Yes, this has been confirmed, by both ONM (The Official Nintendo Magazine, it's like the UK version of Nintendo Power) and the recently discovered patent sheet.

Thinking about it, what else apart from the Wii Zapper could it be used for?

@Dementis: Well, there's the Wii Zapper...and they could make a keyboard attachment for it. (Although that would be rather bulky...and the touch screen could act as a keyboard...so never mind. 
) Hmm...I'm not sure what it'd be used for. The only thing I could think of was the keyboard, and I already dismissed myself in that regard.

A second touch screen, maybe? I mean, two screens is so last generation, three screens is where it's at.

Yeah, you've done a great job so far, letting the Metal Heads destroy the palace.

The possibilities for that port are limitless.
However, Nintendo are well known for including ports on their systems that are then never or rarely used. For example, the GameCube had a port on its underside for plugging in new accessories. Other than the GameBoy Player, I don't think it ever got much use.
Perhaps it may be a place to plug in a pair of motion-sensitive boot controllers for your feet.

While it's true that they tend to put in useless stuff, I think they already have 2-3 uses for it lined upHowever, Nintendo are well known for including ports on their systems that are then never or rarely used.

1. Charging (Think about it for a sec: They're probably not gonna go AA battery powered for THIS huge thing :S)
2. Vitality sensor (It's coming!)
3. Pressure Sensitive Stylus (Artists play games too
)4? Classic controller (U)ltimate hook-up?
So I think this will get some use, much more than the near-useless gamecube port. And the unreleased-in-west 64DD. Gah, that thing had potential T.T

Tell me about it. The idea that Ocarina of time could have been even greater than what it already is still excites me.While it's true that they tend to put in useless stuff, I think they already have 2-3 uses for it lined up

OH MY GOD. I just remembered it... The vitality sensor. Nintendo better not release it for the Wii U, that thing looked both terrible and useless.
