It's about time! Could have used this a year ago, when we brought the iPad on vacation, only to find out that the hotel only had wired ethernet. We bought an Airport Express at a local store (needed one at home anyway) but discovered there was no way to configure it using the iPad. Since it defaults to an open network, it worked fine, but some idiot elsewhere in the hotel kept configuring the AE to use encryption with their password! I kept having to do a hard reset, but next time we'd come back to the hotel, it would be back to "Juliet's Airport Express" or something like that.
I suspect it's because OS X "helpfully" pops up Airport Utility whenever it detects an unconfigured one on the network, and this person just blindly followed the prompts each time. Was kind of frustrating...
Of course if Apple just allowed the Airport devices to be configured over a standard http connection like every other device on the market, this would be a non-issue. Nope, gotta be different.
