My friend did some cool stuff like set it up so that his computer would know when he was in the room. If he left the room, it turned on his away message on iChat. Not sure what else he did with it.

You could get a bluetooth printers, or a palm that can synch wirelessly(not sure if that works with mac)
You could get a bluetooth gps, but thats kinda silly for a computer. Better for a laptop.
The apple bluetooth mouse would be pretty sweet.

usb wireless should be replacing it in a few years. I really wouldn't mind having my printer / external drives / digital camera / Treo all synch up without a mess of cables. This is especially important if you have a notebook and get pissed off at wires easily.

I second that one...my mother told me not too long ago that i would make a ton of money if i invented a way that you didn't need a powercord. my exact response was "you mean lightning? im not zeus mom"

Wires...what are those? Oh yea...that massive pile of mess behind my desk ( Picture this if you will
1 Desk
3 Computers (Cyberpower liFDPCli, Mac mini liFMMli, Dell Inspiron 5150)
1 Monitor (17" Samsung from liFFSli)
2 Keyboards (Logitech, Apple)
3 Mice (Microsoft Optical, Apple, KeyMouse)
2 Speaker Sets (+ 1 Subwoofer)
Not to mention that my microphone, headphones, ipod charger/usb cable, and cellphone charger are all over here as well.
