Probably cheaper than Apple's, so where is the problem?

This is probably cheaper than Apple, but it sure looks cooler than the Apple.
I'd easily buy this over Airport.

But how well does it perform? So far I see nothing Apple can sue for, except for Cnet Networks/CBS for the name.

Actually...

They've been in business for a pretty good time. You can't copyright/patent the shape and color of a device.

@ kevinm

T-mobile comes to mind...

Seems the relevant (competitive) question is if it has any of the features of the AX; print server, music streaming, client mode, relay mode, etc.

[Darwin (Unverified) Posted Oct 6th 2008 7:56PM]

Exactly. And moreover, it has oodles of features (rtfm, haters):
-physical switch to go from Router to AP to Bridge modes (changing the use of the RJ45s)
-USB disk connection
-Web cam server
-print server
-scanner server
-card reader server (wha???)
-Samba server
-audio server

That's pretty damn righteous, if you ask me.
