Will Bluetooth replace everything? Or will USB and Firewire stick around?

Recently, a friend of mine showed me how his Bluetooth-enabled Palm syncs with his laptop, and I found it very cool. But is the bandwidth allowed by Bluetooth wide enough for speakers, monitors, keyboards, printers AND mice, all at the same time?

It'd be great to have a 100% Bluetooth computer with just a cord for power. Is this a realistic expectation, or will we have to wait for the next generation of short-range wireless technology?

if we live off bluetooth, we'll have THREE or perhaps FOUR cords for power.

let's count:
tower
monitor
printer
subwoofer
