New Toy.

I bought one of the most amazing products yesterday.  The Apple Airport Express.  I am specifically using it for Air tunes which allows you to wirelessly play music to any device that you hook into it.  I connected it to my wireless network and plugged in a audio cord into my receiver.  Next all I had to do was open iTunes from ANY computer on my network and select “Play over Airport Express”.  Next thing you know my iTunes is playing wirelessly to my main set of speakers!

To top it off, the iPhone 2.0 firmware came out recently which allows for applications to be installed on the iPhone.  Apple has put out a FREE “iTunes Remote Application” which connects to your computers iTunes which you can control volume, playlists… anything you could as if you where sitting on your computer using iTunes. This basically turns you into a MOBILE DJ!  I can now stream music from my laptop to my main set of speakers, and then control it from ANYWHERE in range of my wireless network.

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, this will come in handy so much when throwing a party and a song comes on that you want to change or if someone requests a song. All you have to do is pull your iPhone out and control everything! How great is that!
