Jobs started off by talking about Time Machine -- that's the automated backup facility inside Leopard. It's all well and good backing up to external hard drives, but if you forget to plug the drive in you're screwed. So, Apple has launched Time Capsule.
Time Capsule is essentially an external hard drive. It's encased in an enclosure that looks suspiciously like Apple TV. It connects wirelessly, via the standard Airport Extreme hardware, to any Macs in your house. So hourly backups needn't consume precious disk space inside your main machine any longer.
It also works as an 802.11n router, with dual-band antennae for 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies, three Gigabit LAN port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, one USB 2.0 port WPA and 128bit WEP encryption support and a built-in NAT firewall. It's like a NAS, only less rubbish-looking.
The Capsules will come in 500GB and 1TB flavours for £199 and £329 respectively, when they're on sale in February.
