This sounds like exactly what the iPad is. For file transfers, by the way, I have read that it basically exposes a portion of the iPads onboard storage as a regular flash drive - that's how you get docs on and off the thing when working with iWork on the iPad, for example. I have heard rumors about wireless printing and print to PDF being built right in too.
For contacts, calendars, and email, if you use Exchange at work, you are absolutely set, complete with push notification and updates. If you don't use Exchange, there's MobileMe, Google's stuff, etc, that all provide fairly decent synching.
So I think it might be closer to what you want than you think. We'll know for sure in 60 days.
