Yeah, until you pick up your 2.4 ghz phone with digital spread spectrum. I've got one that sets up a 300' wireless sphere of silence when ever it's used, or even rings. BTW, it's the wife's favorite phone in the whole world. =( (This is assuming that they continue to use the ISM spectrum for this sort of thing, and don't get their own spectrum for it.)
Also, this could make crackers/script kiddies really bad. Think wardriving is fun? Wait till you can wardrive for webcams, and hard drives, and keyboards, and monitors... Oh, I hate that kid across the street, I'm gonna format his boot drive, from my living room. (Big antennas and amps can get signals to travel a lot further than the manufacturer says they do) Want a target's password? Just snag it as it's sent from the keyboard. The possiblities are nearly endless.
Also, don't trust them to make it ubersecure on the first try either. 128bit WEP can be broken in less than an hour on most access points. (Using the Aircrack suite on linux with a prism2 card.) WPA is better, but you can bruteforce the passphrase, so you'd best have picked a *REALLY* good one, or that can be cracked too, and *VERY* quickly. (Cowpatty on linux)
I'd rather have my stuff hooked up with cables/traces. They are much more resiliant to interference, and "sniffing" attacks.
You can have your wireless too though, just tell me, what's your address? =P
