Apple has released iOS 5.0 beta 2 to developers which brings wireless syncing along with numerous other improvements.
In iOS 5.0 beta 2, wireless syncing is now available for the Mac. It requires iTunes 10.5 beta 2 and OS X 10.6.8 or Lion. You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.
Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings -> General -> iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required). Be sure your device is plugged into a power source when performing Wireless syncs.
Developers can download iOS 5.0 beta 2 from the iOS Developer Center. Also available is an updated version of Xcode 4.2 and iTunes 5.
One side note... FaceTime has been disabled in this beta release. Imessage shows waiting for activation. Streaming sites such as hbo 2 go still not working. Various bugs for iPad users. New notificAtion graphics. MUST BE ON 10.6.8!! MUST BE ON NEW ITUNES BETA 10.5.2!!
Plugged in as in charging your phone? Do you realize that now from your phone, you can just sync to your computer with the push of a button? No need to sit down next to your computer and bring out the cables

Jailbreaking does not void your warranty. That question has already been taken to court and it was ruled that it doesn't void warranty. Besides, you can always restore.
@Jacob,
JB does void your warranty. What was taken to court is the legality issue. The courts ruled, as they should have, that one has the right to hack their own device.
