Apple AirPort Express with AirTunes review

Wednesday 29 December 2004, 5:23 PM

Airport Express does the job flawlessly


When I received the AirPort Express, I refreshed my set-top box, connected the Ethernet output to AE and plugged it in. NTL insist that you register each computer that you connect to their cable broadband service. In this case the AE was to be used as a base station and was therefore a computer as far as NTL was concerned so I registered the device and set up using the AE admin utility rather than the assistant. It worked first time; the streaming music is great and I have not found the need of a remote control although I understand that you can buy one that plugs into the airport USB port. A great bit of kit. I cannot compare this with other products as this is my first wireless experience.

Verdict

The AirPort Express is among the very best wireless-networking devices we've seen for Mac or Windows, but its lack of computer-free control limits its unique ability to stream iTunes music.

Typical price

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
