I've been waiting for quite some time to buy hardware to enable me to wirelessly play music stored on my laptop on my home stereo. Solutions have been offered by a couple of vendors, but I've been betting that a) Apple was secretively working on a solution, and b) it would be better-integrated with Macintoshes than existing solutions.
Apple has hit a home run. Not only does it handle the home stereo application even more smoothly than I was anticipating, it also lets one effortlessly extend one's wireless network all over the house by buying one for each area. It is shaped about like an Apple power supply, a little white unit with the wall plug built in. It costs $129 ($39 for Monster Cables for the stereo connection). And it works with Windows too.
Update: I forgot to mention that it also has a USB port for shared wireless printing! This is a seriously cool product.
wow, that's *really* nifty!
pity it requires iTunes though -- I'd have to invest in that first.

But iTunes is free!
