The Airport express is not available anywhere right now. Will it be replaced with 802.11N version or was the production stopped to build Time Capsules?

It's available for me in the online Apple Store. Ships: 1-2 weeks.

The Apple Store (U.S.) - AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes

Unusually long ship time for a product in current stable production.

N would be nice as a less-than-$200 alternative to the Extreme since there are now tons of $50-100 N wifi routers out there from other companies.

I've also been hunting around for an Express. Managed to pick one up for $65. If you watch the refurb section of the Store, you can find them for $89.

The Express is pretty long in the tooth (oldest product currently offered by Apple, perhaps?), so my guess is it will be replaced with an N version or canceled outright with the expectation that you get an AppleTV instead.

It's now available with 802.11n....and a week after I bought the old version...back to the Apple Store it goes, even though there's the 10% restock fee.

I picked up the refurb AirPort Express for $79 last year. Now, I may get the 802.11n version.
