After PMA 2000 (exactly one year ago) I wrote:
Nikon showed a prototype of a semi-wireless hookup for the D1. They had a 
D1 attached via FireWire to a Sony Vaio laptop. The laptop had a Lucent 
WaveLAN card which sent the image across the room to a computer equipped 
with Nikon Capture software. When perfected, this will let studio users and 
others capture very large files or large quantities of smaller files 
without worrying about the size of  the Compact Flash card in the camera.
