Apple releases AirPort Utility for new AirPort Express
Apple has released an AirPort Utility update that will enable the iOS app to control and configure the new dual-band AirPort Express that was launched on Monday.The AirPort Utility moves to version 1.1 with support to configure and manage the AirPort Express that was announced on Monday at Apple's WWDC conference alongside a host of new products. Apple's new portable base station was the recipient of an overall redesign that resembles a white Apple TV and now sports dual-band connectivity as well as an extra ethernet port.
In addition to the support for the new hardware, the utility app also received the ability to manage base stations for IPv6.
The AirPort Utility update can be downloaded through the iOS App Store for free.

Considering it looks to be the same container as the Apple TV, it should handle heat well enough. Looks as though they just 'shopped in the white. The hand, etc is the same.

right... i dont believe apple uses photoshop...LOL
I am assuming that it does not have a built-in electrical prongs on the back. :( Now I have to have yet another cord.
My ISP supports dual stack IPv4/IPv6 and it works with other routers, but not the Airport, even though this update supposedly adds IPv6 support.
Ah, dual-band. The only way to fly. 802.11n 5ghz for everything except 802.11n 2.4ghz for iPhone and Xbox, etc.
It would be great if you could stream on both 2.4+5GHz in the way some newer 802.11n routers work. With 3x3 MIMO on both frequencies: 450Mbps+450Mbps=900Mbps. What would be even nicer if we had 802.11ac lying dormant in the new MBPs and this new Express station, or, sweeter even, upcoming AirPort Extreme and Time Capsules with 802.11ac support.

Yep and while I give high marks to the hand model for getting near identical finger placement if you look at the lower right palm area you will notice different creases.

No, they're the same.

Now I have to have yet another cord.I'm sure it does... Req a cord that is... Now if Apple supported POE like it once did a very LNG time ago ( I think ) that would be really awsome. Not that I'd hold my breath for it..

I wonder how much heat this new design gives off.
My current Airport Express (the bigger one) runs quite hot.
