LOL... so were not only paying considerably more than US customers, we also get an inferior product.
Uh, yea. Only for music on iTunes as far as I know. Does anyone know if there's a work around?
Received mine today using for AirTunes. Took some fiddling (some resets) but works GREAT!
Security question... I connected to a neighbor's network to see if I could see the AEX and can't. Is there anything I should be aware of to prevent access to my network via the AEX or am I safe? Mode is "Join a wireless network." Assuming you'd have to go through my AEBS to get to it...
I too appreciate this and the other threads.

Installed Airfoil (trial) and played a DVD over AE but the voice sync was off by a split second - just enough to really be distracting. Is this a problem with anyone else that uses Airfoil? Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks in advance.
Got my Airport Express today.
I was impressed at how easy it is to setup-took about 1-2 minutes.
Was able to join my existing wireless network (built in Airport on my mini + D-Link 54g router) easily.
AirTunes is wonderful-had music streaming to the speakers I use for my iPod (Logitech mm50).
Also- a version 7.3.1 firmware was available (only about a week since Airport Express got 802.11n).

So... does anyone know what might be the best position for the AirPort Express?
Usually when I had my Linksys I could adjust the antenna... but the AirPort Express have them hidden inside the case!! So the best I can guess from now is looking at the pictures at Apple home page where they had it upright and "WiFi waves" in a circle.

Wireless speaker capacity?
Is the
Airport Express limited to playing Airtunes through speakers that are connected via the mini-stereo port? I know that the Airport Express is incompatible with speakers that are connected via USB, but does this necessarily mean that wireless speakers are likewise incompatible?
Thanks for any help!
