I think the idea of the new Apple Airport Express is totally cool! Announced today, the Airport Express lets you extend or add an (802.11G – Airport Extreme) network very easily to any location along with your airport enabled machine. It’s really small, easily fits in your gear bag and seems like a terrific piece of equipment. I really like how the airport software works now and would imagine it’s just as easy to add an AE to an existing network… Apple’s page has examples of how you might use this to connect a stereo, using either an analog or optical (yes!) connection. Bundled AirTunes software lets you connect to your iTunes music library for simple streaming and sharing…You can also use the device as a portable base station – pull it out in a hotel room – or connect a USB device to your network from across the room.
