Sorry I forgot who was asking about cordless nailers and I deleted the message.
Well, they are out there but it seems that mostly for framing sized nailers and even they use a rechargeable battery to ignite the gas. Main disadvantage apparently is a slower cycle time with the main advantage being light weight and no hose. None of the reviews or news articles I saw mentioned bulk but I notice on the one lifted from ToolBarn.com and exerts pasted below that this finish nailer is also pretty wide compared with the air finish nailer I have and a lot more expensive too although not so costly if you deduct the cost of a compressor. Here is one example of one I found.
