Airport Express With Video?

Along with reports of an upcoming video-capable iPod, AppleInsider claims that Apple is set to release a new wireless device like the Airport Express.

The new box is rumored to have video-out capability, offering wireless video feed to a television or other display.

As AI claims, it is unclear as to whether the release of this device will coincide with the release of the video iPod, or stand alone at its own unveiling.

That's weird. I don't think that 802.11g has the bandwidth to do video yet. What software application would be the conduit to stream to the Airport Express?

Wondering if these reports are true, will they replace current models or supplement them? And what's the possibility of a Flash-based video player? Is that crazy? Just crazy enough for SJ to pull it off, I say. :cool:

Hell yea we need that.... if only to look cool! ;) In reality how much of these gadgets do we really need? So I say bring it on Uncle Steve, if you've got the product I've got the cash.

I guess people might be interested in streaming video--music being more of the interest with streaming content. I would think this might take a year or two to really catch on though.

Good question. If they are using H.264 to compress it then the base station must have a powerful chip for decompression.

It doesn't. BUT 802.11n, which is the next standard, does. Many companies already have "pre-n" routers out. The next Airport products will be "pre-n" and probably firmware upgradable to "n" once its officially adopted.
