Hi,

Anyone know when the next iteration of Time Capsule should be due? When was the last one released?

I just want to wirelessly backup (and if possible, stream movies wirelessly stored on the HDD to my MBP / iPhone 4s). So on second thought, I would probably need an Airport Express with an external HDD, correct?

So yeah, buy now, or is it due for an upgrade?

I can't understand why they're not a modem + router - Apple wants to get rid of clutter, and I thought that they would make it both.

modems depend on your internet provider. they're not all the same. therefore, apple would have to make many different models...

I think they will be updated in 2012, but that's just my gut feeling.
