I was at an ADC event recently, and I was told that they are putting the functionality back in to TM (it was removed from TM just before shipping Leopard because of a bug found at the last minute).

Hence our expectations were raised and then we were let down. If it had not been mentioned I would agree with you. The lesson for me is "If its that important check the released product has what you need before you part with your money!"

Why are people bitching? Progress will always feel like this to those who bought already. Get used to it! Let down? Why are people bitching?

To get the wireless backup solution I need do I now need to replace this hardware which is all less than 4 months old? This function was expected when Leopard was released. Time Capsule looks like a great product but I do feel that all those who have invested in previous Apple products have been let down. Lets hope Apple are listening and fix this in a Leopard update.

Do you think Apple will release a patch that will let time machine backup to a USB attached hard drive instead of having to purchase the new time capsule?

What about my current 500GB drive that I use for my iTunes library. Can I still use it as an AirDisk?

It'll be a bit raw if they don't allow Time Machine to work to USB drives attached to the Extreme. Here's hoping.

Now they just need to ship this to me a month ago before I got tired of waiting for them and invested in another backup server + software for my home. Sounds great.
