 Apple said Monday that its AirPort Express plug-in router now contains 802.11n functionality. It's a "draft-N" chip, of course, according to Apple's specs page, because the 802.11n specification has yet to be finalized.
If you own a MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo, a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo, a Mac Pro with the AirPort Extreme option, or an iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac), you're in luck -- you already have 802.11n hardware built in, and can take advantage of 802.11n's high-speed data rate. If you don't, there's less of a reason to buy the $99 router, although it will certainly work with older 802.11a/b/g hardware as well.
Note: you do not need to buy the AirPort Extreme 802.11 enabler software, as it ships free with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme.
