I got my Airport Express today. That thing is fucking rad. It's the smallest base I've ever seen, with no wires at all.
The main feature of this is I can now play music on my stereo from my computer over our wireless network. It's exactly what I wanted: I control my music from my laptop using my iTunes, yet it plays on my stereo.
That thing was so freagin easy to setup. The Setup Assistant is amazing. option: new network or join existing? become client or extend range? Select existing network. AND THAT'S IT. IT JUST WORKS. It is soooo worth the extra money over those shitty linksys bases.
Plus all Airport products support WDS which means they can extend the range of other WDS bases. Very cool stuff. I bet I could setup a home netowrk with 3 bases, one network, all extending the range of the other, within 3 minutes START TO FINISH.
If you need a wireless base, buy one of these!
