Its a moble/portable router/access point. Who cares about the AirTunes. I could have used this at E3. The hotel provided free wireless internet, but the coveraged stopped about 5 feet from my door. I had to walk outside with the powerbook to check email. Any of the other features is just gravy.

AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express can extend the range only of an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wireless network.
Good luck finding a hotel employee who knows what networking hardware they're using.

Correction: it has a digital output, in the form of an optical link.
oops, thanks for the update. Didn't see the spec sheet since I saw the basic specs on gizmodo yesterday.
