Airport Express vs. Apple TV pricing is typical Apple. They make you feel like it is a good deal to get their new product based upon their own pricing of older ones. My whole family has migrated to Apple and now we have an iMac, three MacBooks, countless iPods (classic, nano, Touch) and I use an Airport Express to connect my 990 to iTunes on the iMac or MacBook. I'd use the Airport Express should I get a 998 if it isn't wifi capable. It seems to me a wifi connection in a pre/pro would be very handy for firmware/software updates but mostly to stream audio and video. If Apple charges $99 for an Apple TV the hardware for the 998 should cost a lot less. Then again the $99 could be based upon the end user purchasing content and therefore be artificially low. Arrrgghhh.
