The latest rPi can do PXE (ethernet boot) over wired ethernet (no support for PXE over WiFi yet). I have set this up and it is pretty cool to quickly boot images over the network this way, and experiment with them without having to write SD cards. In fact: my rPI doesn't even have a SD card inserted. The ethernet performance in the RPI is still poor though, the USB-to-ethernet bridge is suboptimal. I guess we're almost back at running RPi 'terminals' on our desktop and have a centralised (cloud?) storage solution to boot from and persist files to. We're almost back at 90's level computing ;-)
