Apple Introduces New Aluminum Remote, Improves Performance on AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule
While the big news today was Apple's release of new iMacs, a new Magic Mouse, updated Mac minis, and a refreshed MacBook, Apple also quietly updated several other hardware products.
Apple today introduced a new aluminum Apple Remote priced at $19 and shipping in 2-4 weeks. Compatible with any Mac made since 2005 with an infrared port, the new remote offers a circular navigation wheel and separate menu and play/pause buttons. The remote is also compatible with the iPhone and iPods when using an iPod Universal Dock.
Apple also updated its AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule models today. The new models reportedly offer up to 50% better wireless performance and 25% better range than the previous models due to a revised antenna design. The new Time Capsule also offer up to 60% faster Time Machine backups than on earlier models when using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I've never had an Apple Remote go bad.
1. Any word on whether the nav wheel is scrollable iPod style?
2. Any word on whether the new remote is Apple TV compatible? Don't see why it wouldn't be, but they don't mention it in the store.

I hope the new remote is a little bigger and less "loseable". the dust bunnies in my couch have apparently apprehended at least three of the little buggers. They seem to eat them.

I wonder if they fixed the 18-month life expectancy?
My sentiments exactly.
Airport extreme and an external hard drive seems like a more reliable option than Time Capsule
