I found two interesting wireless docking system for the rMB due to the lack of conventional ports, and they seems to be a good idea and I am sure there will be more of this type of device coming out soon. They both have SD card reader, USB ports for hard drive, charging and Ethernet port. Apart from external display, it seems having everything else I need. On question, are they powerful enough to charge the rMB?

1. Kingston MobileLite Wireless G2

2. RAVPower RP-WD03 FileHub

these are not supposed to use as a 'dock'. the speed will be painful (i'd say ~5-10mb)
if you really need sd/usb adapter, you can wait a couple of weeks or a month, i bet there will be plenty cheap ones on amazon.

those are designed to be portable 'NAS' you can store files on them and access them wirelessly.
if that's what you are interested, i would recommend lacie fuel or wd wireless. large hdd space + quality/performance from big names.
