So, the rumor is now dead? Any follow-ups?
The rumor is dead, and unless Apple releases an upgrade within the next three weeks (aka before Thanksgiving) we won't see a new revision before mid/late January. Unfortunately.

Airplay only would be perfect. I've acquired 5 via craigslist and the like, because $110 just to stream music is too high. Can't figure out why anyone would pay the outrageous prices for built in airplay speakers when you can pick up an AE for <$50 used.
Why would you say that. It is the only network device they offer that can offer AirTunes. AirPlay is limited to playing one device at a time, not the whole home setup.
Update: I visited Apple Store in Hong Kong today and the Airport Express was out of stock. Maybe an update is really imminent. I always saw a few on the shelf before this weekend.
But the US store is still showing : In stockUpdate: I visited Apple Store in Hong Kong today and the Airport Express was out of stock. Maybe an update is really imminent. I always saw a few on the shelf before this weekend.

Also, the HK online store is now showing "Ships: 1-2 business days"
Hmm. Not sure whether to wait or go ahead and buy it now. Seems likely Apple will release a new model shortly (given this model was released back in 2008), but not sure if the number of stores out-of-stock is a sign. Plus, Amazon is apparently discounting them by 50% in the US...

Considering buying an airport express, but not so keen on buying an old model if a new one is about to be launched. Does anyone have an update on this story?
