I wonder if there’s anything else in this firmware update that will be revealed today…
I bet it feels snappier too.
“I bet it feels snappier too.”
i felt a snapper once.
My pecs feel snappier.
….just needs Airport Express with 802.11n to complete the network.
I didn’t even have to download it manually. When I ran Airport Utility 5.1, it informed me I had an update available. It downloaded the update and installed it, restarting the Base Station after the update.
The new “n” Airport Extreme Base Station is a great product. I didn’t know anything needed to be fixed in the firmware, but it’s still working great after the update.
Power save feature for the HD sounds great. I plugged in my old iPod mini and it works great, but I hate knowing it spins 24/7. And performance? It’s slooooooow, hopefully this will speed it up. The first firmware update was CRUCIAL, no one could get VPN working, and that is absolutely a MUST in my house.
THIS JUST RELEASED AT WWDC!!

I’d say in a little while you can write about heaps of news and
“one more thing”…

I agree with spinaltap,
what about 802.11n for the Airport Express?
to add to my last post…
Why Airport Express? I want iTunes compatibility.
Yes, the new firmware update does feel more responsive.
