i was just browsing amazon.com for an airport card and it says they're out of stock.
MacConnection is also out.
Does this mean new (802.11g) models are coming?
i think so.
right now the apple store estimates they won't ship airport cards until the 24th of August at the earliest.
here's why i think Apple could be unleashing 802.11g compatible airport cards to substitute the current 802.11b cards�
since upgrading a 802.11g capable base station from 802.11b to 802.11g is only a matter of firmware updates, Apple could be getting ready to release this update for the AirPort base station 2.0 by the end of the year, provided it has 802.11g capable hardware (which i think it does). Older (802.11b) airport cards would still be compatible.
note: August 24th may also be the date for the new PowerMacs to be uncovered or start shipping
