I'd be disappointed if beaming goes the way of grafitti, Beaming is an ad hoc thing without any pairing, as required for bluetooth or authentication required for WiFi. I don't use beaming as much as I did years ago, but when I need it, I'm glad its there.
I really miss it with my iPod. You know, when you want somebody to listen to something. Too much data to be practical, though. I can't tell you how many times I've beamed NVBackup to people.
