As wireless moves forward so do the applications.  This is an interesting idea.  So you could have a complete home network where the only thing connected with wires is your router to broadband modem.  For wireless broadband, you might not even have that!

On Tuesday, the companies plan to announce a partnership featuring a $99 Linksys device designed to allow an external hard drive to connect to a wireless router, letting PCs tap into the storage and share files without any physical link to the drive. "
