I bought Apple's new Airport Express a few days ago. I've been using it exclusively for it's music streaming abilities, forgoing the wireless router and wireless print server functionality. And even that is not so necessary at home, since it is pretty much impossible to be further than one RCA cord away from the stereo in my tiny apartment. But the small size means it can travel. And I've already spent an enjoyable evening sitting at the bar at Alias pretending I am a DJ. This is something I've always wanted to do, but since it is sort of crowded up front where the stereo is located, it was never possible. Same for 71 and aKa, where I expect to be annoying people shortly as well.
Ars Technica has the review. The only thing they don't mention, and I admit it is a minor thing, is that with the new setup you can now preview a song in your headphones while a different song is playing over the wireless link to the stereo. There was never a way to do that before.
