    Does anyone know when Apple will add Thunderbolt to the new Airport Extreme?

    Why would they? The AE and TC are designed for backups. They aren't designed to be a high-speed NAS. USB 2 and eventually USB 3 are fast enough and much cheaper.

    If you want network connected storage that's pretty fast, choose something else.

    What benefit are you anticipating that Thunderbolt would bring to the AE?

    No. USB 2.0 & gigabit connections only.
