Been a PC geeks all my life and still am. Got a powerbook for my wife because I was getting tired of being system admin and virus administrator for her.

Love the Mac,
Love iTunes and iPhoto and all the apps
Ordered the AE when it came out
How refreshing the experience is to use these Apple products !!

What are you talking about?
Did your buddy’d laptop light distract you from doing a bit of research on Airport Express before lowing your mouth off?
If a new idea came and hit you on your head, you would not recognize it!

This isn’t FM band, its more akin to a Shoutcast stream.

Print server + Streaming music decoder + 802.11g Router/Bridge + Smallest Wifi router on the market = $129.

The cheapest 802.11g router with a print server on Newegg is a D-Link and its $152. It’s a lot bigger than the AE, it won’t serve to extend the range of your current network, and it won’t decode streaming music.

What’s even worse than fanboys are anti-fanboys.

Just like most of apple’s products, this once again isnt’ a new idea.. They’ve been selling this product since the first portable CD player adapter that transmitted to your car sterio came about.

I’m not all the impressed, especially considering the price.

I will give them credit, they are good at creating a brand image and making some cool looking things, but ever since my buddy bought a mac laptop because of the battery lights on the bottom, I’ve lost interest.

As much as I don’t like Macs, Mr. Jobs’ job on the whole iTunes/iPod deal has brought me to buy (and fall in love with) an iPod. I think next on my list will be the APExpress

“It’s like a bunch of grocers all selling potatoes from one farmer’s crop at the same prices.”

So true! As beautiful and simple as the iTunes Music Store is, seeing the same dried up song selections is depressing. You’re all hyped up when you get there and then…”is this all there is?” Oy.
