Yeah, everyone knows about the iPhone, and the (Apple)TV. What they *didn't* tell you was the new Airport Extreme. Ok, so it's a new 802.11n-based wireless base-station. Here's the catch:

USB2.

For sharing.

Not just printers, but *disks*.

Think about it. Network addressable storage on the super cheap. Sure, it's only USB2, but you're still limited by the network connection of 802.11n and/or the connection of the 10/100 Ethernet ports.

Not too long ago, NAS units were *very* expensive. Often you'd have to dedicate an entire computer to serve files. Now you don't have to.

It accepts USB hubs, so you can add many disks, and/or many printers.

Best. Macworld. Ever.
