Hot on the heels of a leak from the Swiss Apple Store, Apple went ahead and popped out an updated Airport Express this morning. (Please, hold your gasps—we know it's not Tuesday yet.) The new Airport Express, which has not seen any technological updates to speak of since its launch almost four years ago, now supports 802.11n (draft, of course). Finally.

The Airport Express remains at its previous price of $99 and doesn't appear to have gained any other new features—Jade speculated over the weekend that it could gain Gigabit Ethernet (bzzt, it still has a single 10/100 port) or that it might be able to support a USB hard drive (bzzt, USB port still only supports a printer and a couple of third-party gadgets, like the Keyspan Express Remote).

Still, if you've been dying for a new Airport Express but have been holding off because of no Draft-N, you should be happy. Apple says that the new little gadget is available immediately in stores, and it ships within 24 hours from the online store. There's not a lot exciting to say about this update otherwise, so we'll let you guys loose now. Have fun.
