The wireless won't only be used for buying songs or surfing the web. Apple already offers the Airport Express/Extreme wireless access points that feature an AirTunes, allowing you to wirelessly stream music from iTunes to your home stereo system. With an 802.11x enabled iPod, you could join it to your wireless network and stream songs from your iPod directly to your Airport enabled home stereo, without any headphones or other wires.
That's the type of integration we've come to expect from Apple: Maximizing functionality while simplifying the user interface. Trust me, I already use AirTunes at home and being able to add my iPod to the mix would be about as cool as it can get. (That is, until apple makes AirMovies or whatever they will call their future generations of media streaming access points.)
