Airport Express with Airtunes

Just released but not announced widely is the new Apple Airport Express wireless hub. This looks like a great piece of kit. Like it big brother Airport Express provides a 802.11b/g wireless hub allowing for computers to connect at 54Mb/s. What separates Airport Express though is the new iTunes extension called AirTunes. Using Airtunes you can connect the Airport Extreme directly up to you stereo (using the audio out on the Airport Express) and then control what is output using the AirTunes extension in iTunes.

Great, isn't it! I'll be buying one as soon as they are available. It also has an ethernet port and a USB port. The USB port can be used to connect a printer to share on the wireless network. Posted by: brett at June 9, 2004 08:44 AM
