may i know why u visit japs website when you dont read it?
i think it's local copyright issue or naming restriction.
the whole Arport Family (extreme card, extreme base station & express) are all named as AirMac in Japan.

I've look tru the spec, it's the same thing as Airport family is US or any other country.

Another note, if apple were to introduce something new or a revision, it will normally took place worldwide or started from US. And a dominant banner will be on the main page of their website.

oic.. i don't how to read japanese words..
btw wei, Thanks for your informations...

no problem. i wasn't aware they have a different name too.

really? i aware of Airport now.. cause already years they din update the products.. they add 802.11n into the airport as i heard from rumors..

and also.. Apple always be the 1st to introduce the latest technology ..

it's no longer rumors, both MacPro and iMac Core2Duo are equiped with 801n Airport Card. Just that Apple yet to officially support it. Might due to 801n is yet to finalised.

Wait for Macworld January 2007.

ya... will wait till Jan 2007.. wondering Apple will release what products...

its been called AirMac for many years now. Look through the service and warranty information

I think its to reduce confusion because translating AirPort to Japanese would be a mess...

it would sound ee-ru-po-ru-to. hmmm....

Actually it's due a pre-existing trademark in Japan. Somebody already owns the name.

ah... thanks for clearing that up. I didn't expect someone to trademark that kinda name...

oic.. maybe Japan Airport owned it?
Thx for your all informations.. arigatou!!

It means by using AirMac, u can connect to the internet, print, stream music from iTunes from anywhere at home, wireless. Can be used on Mac and Windows.

Sometimes Japan have much better stuff than the normal stuff like Macs and cellphones. If you check the Phone Specific Discussion, so many forummers picked up the latest phone technology is from Japan Websites.
