“Apple is poised to introduce new versions of its Time Capsule wireless backup appliance and AirPort Extreme 802.11n wireless routers, regulatory filings with the Federal Communications Commission reveal,” AppleInsider reports.

“A filing for a new AirPort Express was originally lodged in January and granted on Monday, while a filing for a new Time Capsule was first made back in August of 2008 and also granted this week,” AppleInsider reports.

“Typically when the FCC publishes authorization documentation for a new Apple product, that product hits the market within days of the grant being made public,” AppleInsider reports. “It should also be noted that Amazon recently slashed the price of the current generation Time Capsules by 13 – 22 percent, a move which may now be seen as an inventory clearing measure ahead of new models. The 1TB Time Capsule was marked down $112 to $387.92 while the 500GB model was reduced by about $40 to $259.31.”
