It would have been interesting to see how the new Airport Express compares in size with the old one. I'm currently hauling mine wherever I go (so it doubles up as a wireless AP whenever only Ethernet is available), and I actually see this new gen. as just slightly bigger, one I could just drop in my living room and leave it permanently connected to my sound system (so I don't have to take out & hookup the first one whenever I want to stream my iTunes library wirelessly).
