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.
Really? In Jobs intro it sounded like it had a proprietary address book and calendar.

And will it recognize mp4, wmv, avi, and mkv files, all of which I use daily? If I'm working on a word doc on my couch and need some info off of a doc on my pc, can I get it through my wireless home network?
