I suspect it will be something along those lines. I picked up SplashID over the weekend, and it syncs over a network connection if both the app on the phone and the desktop are running at the same time.

In addition to sandboxing the local storage, it also looks like developers can't hook into a cable'd sync solution through the dock. I would not be surprised if Apple came up with some kind of 'conduit' scheme similar to what Palm uses, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
