What that means is that the 7D body can work as a wireless transmitter to other off-camera flashes...

You can set up your 580EX II (or any of your canon speedlites) 10 feet away and trigger it with the 7D...no need for a pocket wizard! It only works with Canon Speedlites though...no off-brands. I believe the flash limit is 4 groups with 4 flashes in each group.

Hope that clears it up for ya!
