Apple Quietly Updates Time Capsule (2TB and 3TB) and AirPort Extreme
Apple has quietly updated their Time Capsule with 2TB and 3TB models, as expected. Pricing of the new units isn't clear as Apple hasn't updated the retail site, though the splash page still indicates "Starting at $299". There seems to be no mention of any new features aside from the hard drive capacities
Apple has also slightly tweaked the promotional pages for the AirPort Extreme, suggesting that that device has also received a quiet update. But again, no details on spec changes have been revealed.
Update: Apple has now posted store pages for the updated 2 TB ($299) and 3 TB ($499) Time Capsules. The new models offer the same price points as before, but with the upgraded capacities.
Apple has also posted a new store page for the AirPort Extreme, although it is still unclear what improvements are included over the previous generation. Pricing remains at $179.

They will sell like hotcakes I promise you. 3TB of storage for £399 is truly a breakthrough price when you consider all the really cool technology incorporated into the Time Capsule family of products. A Windows PC with a 3TB drive will cost you a lot more than £399 and will take up a lot more space, use more electricity and be prone to all the usual flaws associated with Microsoft products.
Stop trying to justify the ridiculous price. It really makes you look lame.
So much for the rumors of the much NEEDED iTunes server (so one wouldn't have to keep a computer on 24/7 to make their full libraries available to all their AppleTV units....
Between this and the no physical media Lion distribution that means you have to install and old operating system before you can install Lion I can only say one thing.
Apple is really starting to suck.
I think I'll keep Snow Leopard on my MBP and I'll think twice before buying a Mac again in the future.
I wonder what I can get to replace AppleTV since it'll apparently never work transparently with a UPnP/DLNA server or NAS device.
Wow. What a truly foolish thing to say. Apple just revolutionized the industry with iCloud. They are about to release a major update to OS X, and they are about to release a major update to iOS. They are releasing new hardware all the time, and they about to release a new major version of the iPhone. They have the best tablet and phone on the planet.
And Apple "sucks" because they didn't release some piece of hardware that you *IMAGINED*?
Cry babies. I'm literally disgusted by you.
How long has it been since they used a white plastic casing? Besides the Macbook...
I think white plastic casing was standard in their products like 6 years ago.
Aluminum isn't very good at letting radio waves pass through, which means it would be a terrible choice of material to build a wireless router.
Love the guy that went and sold his 2TB TC yesterday "before the prices dropped on used ones" in anticipation of the new TC to be released...all based on rumors. Guess that was Apple's fault, and more directly Steve Job's fauly and Apple should give him a free TC....
