Airport Extreme Updated With Gigabit Ethernet
In Apple's press release for the iMac, they make a small note that the Airport Extreme has been updated to include gigabit ethernet.
Apple's 802.11n Airport Extreme base station had only included 10/100 Base-T ethernet, which had been a sore-spot in reviews considering all Macs now ship with Gigabit ethernet, and the theoretical wireless performance would outstrip the wired performance.
As of this writing, Apple has yet to update the product page for the Airport Extreme to reflect the change.

Well, nice job finally.
Too bad I had to help my parents buy another brand's router last month for exactly this reason. (As did I for myself.) I wonder how much money Apple saved by leaving this feature out of the first version. Did it even make up for the 2 lost sales in my family alone?

Where does it say that? All it says is that the iMac has gigabit ethernet not that the Airport Extreme does. It would be pretty low of apple to upgrade the AE so soon after release.
