The low effective transfer rate and high latency make sending real-time RAWs impractical for me though. I think the puny CPU in the chip can't handle efficient TCP/IP so it takes 15 seconds or more to send a single K20D RAW (8 Mb) and a K-5 RAW would be awful (25 Mb).
Yeah, I'm guessing the silicon in the camera is just about exactly the right size to support the imaging mission, with little or nothing left over to support the "download" mission. For me, though, it wouldn't be terrible. I don't need full real time. The trick for me would be the interaction between "opportunistic downloading" and me needing to switch cards because I just filled one up.
