When is the next Apple AirPort Express refresh? (Any predictions?)

I've been waiting for the Airport Express for quite a while already (Since 2009, I think.). I haven't purchased it yet though because i have been waiting for the next refresh since the price is quite high for such a device (Can't get it refurbished - don't have eBay and Craiglist here.).

Any predictions for the next refresh?

It may not get updated soon, but it does seem overdue for a bump up to gigabit Ethernet.

We may learn more after WWDC 2011. Once we know the surprises in store for iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion we can better read the tea leaves regarding WiFi connectivity and future updates. Personally I'd like AirPlay video built in to the Express and Extreme base stations as well as an iOS app for configuration, however some other iCloud integration may be in the cards.

On the rumor front, Apple may be reducing the AirPort branding. This Lion screenshot shows the AirPort menubar control labelled as "Wi-Fi" rather than AirPort as it is today:

Be complete and thorough. Don't skimp on the details!
2
Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?
3
A little research goes a long way. Back up your claims and assumptions!
