    AirPort was a great product line when the Wi-Fi market was new and competing products were clunky and hard to configure.

    Now the market is mature and saturated, last year’s $250 router is now $75, and everyone’s cable/DSL modem comes with one built-in. It makes no economic sense for Apple to participate in that market because there’s little that could differentiate their products from others.
