Introducing AirPort Express with AirTunes

Apple Computer: "Enjoy your iTunes music library in virtually any room of your house. Share a single broadband Internet connection and USB printer without inconvenient and obtrusive cables. Create an instant wireless network on the go. Extend the range of your current wireless network. How many devices do you need to do all this? Just one. Presenting AirPort Express. Featuring AirTunes for playing your iTunes music wirelessly on your home stereo or powered speakers, AirPort Express brings not only the Internet but your music to wherever in your home you like to enjoy them most — whether you use a Mac or Windows PC. Unmatched in its ease of use, it delivers data rates up to 54 megabits per second, fits in the palm of your hand so you can take it wherever you go — and it costs just $129."

Looks interesting, and unlike Apple's base station products, it seems reasonably priced. Apple (unlike Microsoft, incidentally) already had a good PC-to-PC solution for streaming music (iTunes), but was lacking in a PC-to-device solution. This looks to be it.
