No and the camera doesn't support it and is unlikely to ever support it.

The D2X does, of course.

While Canon did release an updated firmware to enable the 20D which enabled
it to use the 1D's wireless accessory, Nikon hasn't given any indication
that they intend to release such an enhancement for the D70.

I would imagine it will become the standard in a couple of years or so.

Lexar do a firewire card reader that downloads a full 1gb card in less than
three and a half minutes. I know this as I timed mine while I was waiting.

Well one possibility is to get a laptop with a small footprint and wireless
support, and keep it with the camera, and from your other pcs, network into the
small laptop and control the camera.

In terms of transfer, but not capture, there is wi-pics, but since it costs
more than the D70 kit costs, I suspect it isn't an option:

How exactly would wireless transfer lose money for a pro?

If I just bought some good Air Jordans, I could play in the NBA!

It's not the tools folks.
