Apple announced today a new feature on its 802.11n-based Airport Extreme Base Station. Its Ethernet ports have all been upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet. Sadly, it still offers only three LAN ports, whereas most wireless routers offer four. Otherwise, it's basically the same product we reviewed, at the same price point.

Where's the 2nd USB port?

I checked the Airport page on Apple.com and it lists it as having only one USB
port. A second one would be nice, but according to the specs there is only one.
