Apple ships AirPort Express Base Stations

Apple today began shipping its AirPort Express Base Stations. First introduced in early June 2004, the portable device offers 802.11g wireless networking functions as well as both digital and analog outputs for connection to a stereo, allowing users to wirelessly stream music from a Mac or PC to a home stereo. AirPort Express uses Apple's new AirTunes software along with iTunes. Readers today forwarded shipment confirmations of the new device, which were expected in mid-July. The device requires iTunes 4.6, which was released last month. (Apple also notes that the AirPort Express Assistant can't set up a WDS when network address translation is turned off.) Earlier today, we also noted that Apple began shipping its new Apple Cinema Displays.

Oh, sure, they probably shipped one or two out, then blared this announcement all over. Same with the displays. I probably won't see mine for another 6 months.

... when they'll be available for walk-in purchase at Apple Stores. I was at the Towson Town Center store Saturday night, and they weren't there then.
