Airport Extreme showing up in retail stores
Several readers have written to tell us that Airport Extremes are on the shelves in Apple Stores (a few California stores, to be exact). I have an authorized reseller by my house (not an actual Apple Store) which hasn't received any, but they're typically towards the end of the list.So, does your local store have Airport Extremes on the shelves, and have you purchased one yet?

Apple Portland Store has had them for over a week - tho the local Mac dealer has not - so Apple is definitely favoring their own stores, which is sad because the dealers were here over a decade before Apple showed up - And in the hard times of Apple too.

I ran like a lil boy and snatched on. 20 minutes later they were all gone. Crazy! It's not even that great! Speeds are 'ok' not life altering, still can't handle HD footage!

ON a whim, I call the the Santa Monica CA store Saturday morning. To my suprise, they said they had them. Got there an hour or so later, and grabbed ther last one on the shelf. Didnt get around to setting it up until Sunday. Tastes great, less filling!

I bought one yesterday from the Trafford Centre too. Have to say though, it's the first Apple product I've bought that I've been extremely disappointed with. The wireless aspect works fine, but disk sharing seems extremely flaky to me - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Documentation and the software is poor too - it all has a very 'rushed' feel about it. Until there is an update available, mine has already been relegated to the shelf, back in the box.
mine is in freeport, via shanghai...what fun watching the fed ex site.
