Apple Updates Time Capsule to 1 TB and 2 TB Capacities [Updated]

Apple this morning quietly updated its Time Capsule combination wireless router and network-attached storage drive to double the models' capacities at the same price points as the previous models: 1 TB for $299 and 2 TB for $499. While Apple's main Time Capsule product page is not yet reflecting the upgraded capacities, the new models are available in the online Apple Store, where a small banner ad on the main store page advertises the upgrade. The new models are currently listed as shipping within 24 hours.
Rumors of a 2 TB Time Capsule first surfaced in early April when an image of a 2 TB Time Capsule box appeared on one of retailer ClubMac's product pages.
Update: Apple has now revised its Time Capsule product pages to reflect the updated models. All technical specifications other than storage capacity appear to remain the same as the previous models.

Thats a nice little upgrade. It's cool that Apple keeps the price points usually the same when they do the upgrade.
I have a 500gb, thats for Time Machine. The rest goes up on the QNAP NAS and the drives in the Mac Pro.

If the prices went up, then people would riot. Think about it, the price of the HDDs have gone down dramatically, so why wouldn't the complete package? ;)
