Along with the big Apple update from this morning, it looks like they have also updated their AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. The updated AirPort Extreme looks like it will be 25% faster than the last-gen model thanks to some tweaks in the antenna. This is available for $179 USD. Check it out on their website here.

The Time Capsule also seems to have been updated. Apple has mentioned that Time Capsule back0ups in Snow Leopard will be around 60% faster than they were before. The 1TB and 2TB models are now available for $299 USD and $499 USD, respectively. Check it out on their website here.

Update: TUAW has just mentioned that Apple has actually cut down the price on their high-end 17-inch MacBook Pro. The high-end model features: a 17-inch anti-glare display, a 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and a 500GB HDD. The good news here is that this will only cost $3,600 USD, which is almost $1,000 cheaper than it was yesterday.

Two days ago, Apple updated their Time Capsule. They released a new 2TB model that now costs $499 USD on Apple's official website. In related news, the 1TB Time Capsule now costs only $299 USD and the 500GB model is now discontinued.

Apple has spotted the person who downloaded the 1 billionth app off of the App Store and it was Connor Mulcahey of Connecticut. He took home a $10,000 USD iTunes gift certificate (that I would sell on eBay because I don't get anything off of the iTunes Store), a MacBook Pro and a Time Capsule. He's only 13-years old, so I'm pretty sure this is something that he'll remember for the rest of his life. Congratulations to him! I hope he spends that $10,000 iTunes gift certificate wisely.
