Anyone know if you can use the new Apple TV like a bridge as you can with the Airport Express?

An option to wirelessly bridge ethernet traffic
would be very helpful. Newer DISH network boxes
need to connect to the internet using Ethernet;
the same may soon be true for most TVs.

Agreed. Apple Engineers: Let's get this feature added. Airport Express 11n's support is excellent, and flawless.

I agree. I took the Ethernet cable out of my Tivo to plug into the Apple TV and now use the Tivo's wireless adapter to connect to our wireless LAN. If the Apple TV could bridge the WLAN this would be great.
