Ars Reviews AirPort Express

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

ack154 writes "Ars Technica has a nice, comprehensive review of the new AirPort Express from Apple. There is a breakdown of each of the main features: music streaming, a mobile base station, a base station extender, and networking a printer. All features were tested from both Mac and Windows perspectives. Overall it got an 8/10 with points mainly lost for no means of remote control and no audio cable included in the package."

    I wish iTunes could let one stream audio to the Express and play music on the host simultaneously. I was surprised to learn that it can't do both. It would be nice to be able to stream music to another room and be able to monitor it on my computer. But I'm buying one anyway. This thing is way cool. I can wait for Gen 2 with component video out for HDV streaming.
