  Apple - AirPort Express
AirPort Express with AirTunes brings your iTunes music in your Mac or PC into your living room — or wherever in your home you have a stereo or a set of powered speakers.
AirPort Express uses the revolutionary Bonjour technology in Mac OS X to allow your AirPort-equipped Macs running Mac OS X to detect each other with no effort on your part — they discover each other just by virtue of being within the range of the network.
Cables for connecting the AirPort Express Base Station to a DSL or cable modem, USB printer or a stereo or a set of powered speakers are sold separately.

 Apple - AirPort Express - AirTunes
AirPort Express works with iTunes to make listening to your iTunes music library through your home stereo or powered speakers not only a possibility but a snap.
Buy more than one AirPort Express Base Station and connect one to every stereo or set of powered speakers in your house — for example, you can connect one to your stereo in your bedroom, one to your stereo in your living room and still another to a pair of powered speakers in your kitchen.
Plug AirPort Express into an electrical outlet using either the AC plug that came with the base station or the AirPort Express power extension cord included in the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit.

The original AirPort was followed by the unfortunately-named AirPort Extreme, which updated the Apple logo on the front of the base station from white to metallic, the status LEDs from green to white, and the innards from 802.11b to 802.11g and its maximum 54Mbps throughput.
Shortly after the AirPort Express shipped, Apple announced that they were discontinuing the low-end AirPort Extreme Base Station (the one lacking a modem port and support for external antenna) and dropping the price of the remaining Base Station to US$199.
One of those exceptions is that the Ethernet port on the Express cannot simultaneously function as a LAN port and a WAN port — it's an either-or.

One note: when using the AirPort Express as a WDS, you are limited to either using 128-bit WEP or turning off security altogether.
This was not mentioned on the AirPort Express pages on apple.com, although it is addressed in the manual.
Add the Express' MAC address to the network and change the network name and password on the Express to match the Linksys.

 MacDevCenter.com: Getting in Tune with AirPort Express
AirPort Express Assistant finds the wireless network the AirPort Express created when it started up and connects to it after confirmation that it is the correct one.
The results were surprising to me. I expected the transcoding from AAC to Apple Lossless (the codec used to transmit sound to the AirPort Express) to have consumed more cycles than it did.
A side benefit of having the AirPort Extreme base station is setting up the AirPort Express to expand the range of the base station in a wireless distribution system (WDS).

 USATODAY.com - Express takes digital music a step further, but it's no iPod   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Now Apple's boss is counting on a new lightweight mobile base station called AirPort Express to continue to bang the drum for digital music.
(In techie terms, AirPort Express exploits the speedy standard known as "802.11g," which means it is also compatible with devices that adhere to the slower "802.11b" standard.) It can also become a "bridge" to extend the range of a Wi-Fi network by up to 150 feet, though it may not work with every brand.
The idea is that you could connect a cable from the hotel's broadband box to AirPort Express, then wander around the room with a laptop.

 Airport Express
Apple just announce the Airport Express: a tiny 802.11g base station that supports up to 10 clients and can act as a wireless-to-wireless (and some say wireless-to-wired) bridge.
The Airport Extreme Basestation has always had the limitation that it can only bridge to other Airport Extreme networks so this is not a new restriction of the Express.
I guess that AirPort Express would extend the range of an AirPort (snow or graphite) network, provided that it too is wired to the network...

AirPort Cards installed on computer that are running Mac OS X 10.3.0 or later can use firmware and operating system upgrades that allow an AirPort Card to handle WPA correctly on Apple and non-Apple networks.
AirPort Cards cannot support WPA2 because of limitations in silicon; WPA was designed to be backward compatible with early 802.11b cards, such as the AirPort Card.

 AirPort Express Compatibility? (by Jeremy Zawodny)
I'm thinking of getting an AirPort Express so that I can stream iTunes music to my stereo and use it as a portable access point when I travel.
The distinction the marketing droids were making was between Airport and Airport Extreme, not Apple hardware and other hardware.
Even if Apple did decide to make the Airports set up linksys routers, what if there were some wacky settings in the linksys, or other firmware revisions that weren't expected, and as a result it breaks the setup.

 TIME.com Gadget of the Week: Apple AirPort Express
The Express is, like many other products on the market, a networking device that helps you wirelessly deliver music from your Mac or Windows machine to your sound system.
Designed to look like the power adapters for PowerBooks and iPods, AirPort Express is small easily wall mountable: you just stick it into the wall socket — or surge protector — and that's that.
A final piece of advice is this: if you do run into any trouble and have to reset the Express, hold the reset button for at least five seconds, maybe even as long as 10 seconds, to ensure a fresh start.
