Apple quietly releases 802.11n Enabler

Along with today's iPod Shuffle line additions, Apple has released the promised 802.11n Enabler for compatible Macs.

The software is available via a software download from the Apple Store for $1.99 unless you buy the Airport Extreme base station which includes the software at no additional cost.

The $1.99 upgrade has been the focus of some controversy. The update had been originally priced at $4.99, but Apple slashed the price after an outpouring of discontent from users.

There won't be any cracking needed.

The software license for the 802.11n Enabler software allows you to install and use it on all computers under your ownership or control.

That's about as lenient as commercial software terms get. Note that you don't even have to own the computers where you install it.

I'd be willing to buy a copy of the enabler, if, for a few moments, you would all concede that I control the entire world. ;)

I'd wait to see what happens with Leopard, to see if they just add it in the OS.

$1.99 is nothing, but I can wait for Leopard - where, I'm assuming, it will be built into the OS.
