Overview
Wireless backup for Mac OS X Leopard.
Automatic backup with Time Machine.
Time Capsule works automatically with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the computers in your home to a central _aw_location.
Server-grade storage.
The massive 500GB or 1TB server-grade hard drive2 gives you all the capacity and safety you need for backing up all your Mac computers.
Easy wireless networking.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to Time Capsule, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is included for both Mac OS X and Windows. Within minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos, and more — without wires.3
Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi. 
For maximum range and compatibility, Time Capsule works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. And Time Capsule uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology so you can enjoy up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.4
Guest networking.
Now you can set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a separate password for your visitors. Simply enable the new guest networking feature, and your guests can use the Internet but can’t access other parts of your private network, such as your computers, printers, and attached hard drives.
Wireless drive sharing.
Time Capsule also works great as a wireless hard drive, whether you have a Mac or a PC. It sets up in a snap, giving you a networked hard drive you can use for storing and sharing all kinds of files. If you're a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.5
Print without wires.
Print documents, photos, and more from any room in your home or office to a central printer connected to Time Capsule via USB. (See system requirements.)
Strong security and access controls.
Protect yourself with the built-in firewall and industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.
Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more.
Time Capsule works with Mac computers, PCs, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.1

My Time Capsule arrived in the post today and is backing up both my Mac and my daughter's Mac as I write. Installation was faultle…Read moress. Not only can I connect both iMacs wirelessly, but my iPhone can now access iTunes. If there is a criticism, the Time Capsule runs a little too hot for my liking. Otherwise it does just what it says on the tin. A brilliant addition.

I decided this item was for me and have not looked back, although a little over priced (It is Apple after all), I backed up my 250GB iMac wirelessly in a little over 5 hours and my 320 GB MacBook Pro (New) in a little over an hour via network cable. Obviously this was the first back up and you should expect this to take some time.
For 2 months now my Time Machine on both Mac's have been backing up in flawless fashion. I also switched off the Wirless on my existing router and use the wirless on the Time Capsule with more range and better signal.
This is a great product and worth buying.(37 of 39 people found this review useful)

I had read that these back-ups take down the entire network, well they don't. It's a great comfort to know that these back-ups are being done routinely, in the background, and I find the Time Machine concept a great idea. I can't recomment TC and TM enough. Well done Apple once again.

It must be said I was initially put off this product having read various reviews on the apple website and elsewhere. However I ord…Read moreered nevertheless having had awful experiences with losing data on my old (non-apple) PC. I Followed the instructions to the letter and I did my initial back-ups with a Ethernet cable plugged in, which did 80 gb in 3+ hours, which I thought was fairly reasonable. It managed to bridge to my sky DSL router perfectly. In all I have been very impressed wit this product and heaven forbid anything should happen to my laptop I will not have lost any important information, which I personally think is worth a huge amount. Couldn’t have been simpler!
