I think it is a matter of year or two when wireless tech (Blue Tooth,
WiFi, etc) would become standard feature of even relatively cheap
PDAs. Then it would be probably incorporated into most DSLRs thereby
giving you what you want.

The tech is there. It is a little expensive and just a little rare
these days. But, very soon, it'd stop being this way...
