Wow! I had no idea it could do this!August 20, 2008 I was looking to extend our wireless network (w/Time Machine as the base). As part of doing that, I discovered that this little unit can actually stream music to my nearby stereo, using my iPhone (or Macbook Pro) as the remote control! It took less than 10 minutes to extend my network AND get music (and Podcats) playing perfectly on our Onkyo receiver. The Airport Express shows up on my iPhone (using the free Remote application from Apple), and as a destination option from iTunes itself. I can even control the volume from the iPhone or iTunes. If I add another one of these puppies, I can have music in multiple rooms. Good to see that Apple really does put thought into their products. Good luck to Dell in theirs to play catch-up...
Airport Express is the right name for this productAugust 14, 2008 Having read some of the negative comments about this device, I was a bit doubtful of it but, went ahead and bought one regardless. Like so much of what goes with a Mac it works well ...like it's supposed to, and it was a breeze to install. The only bump in the road was connecting a Vista based PC which, through some electronic hiccup, only connects to the LAN occasionally. Because the Mac is my main 'puter, the Vista PC connection problem is no big deal; besides, what else is new with Windoze? The Airport Express is a good investment and one that I'm happy I made.
Great product with limitationsAugust 12, 2008 I bought this product because I hated attaching additional cables to my laptop to play music. However, as you will easily notice, it's only for itunes. I found this limiting so i download AirFoil which unleashes the Airport Express and lets you source music from any type of source (System, Application, Etc). Windows I'm not sure...I'm a mac user. Outside of the listed above reasons...it's a great product and works as stated!
Not as easy as Apple would like you to believeAugust 11, 2008 It works fine now that it is working. Even using a G card in my Lenovo laptop I get a much stronger signal than I got with the old LinkSys WRT54G. The internet on the laptop seems much faster.
It took about 1 1/2 on the phone with Apple at 6:00 AM. (Apple phone support is 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday). I was surprised that the call had to be escalated to 2d level support for a "simple" installation.
I was a little disappointed that at the end of the day, despite Apple's attempt to sell people on the ease of use of its products, this device was no easier to install and configure than the LinkSys.
Apple airport expressAugust 9, 2008 This thing is good but it does not reach that far,I have a one bed room apt, and if I plug it on one side it will not reach into my bed room. I have to put it in the middle of my apt for it to reach,it is fast and everything,but if you can afford the bigger version the Extreme, than get it because it will actually reach places further than 50 feet.
