It seems that rescuing Apple from the brink of closing its doors isn’t all that Steve has done. In the latest PC Magazine WiFi report, Apple’s Airport has received it reader’s choice awards, with this year’s overall highest rating in the realm of wireless networking gear!
“Apple wireless routers receive this year’s highest overall rating score (8.9). This is especially noteworthy given that, in general, wired routers outscore wireless. Part of its high ratings may stem from ease of setup: Apple routers tend to be connected to simpler-to-do-everything Macintoshes. “
In today’s hi-tech WiFi world, ease of use with Apple’s Airport technology is a given. Although, coming to market at relatively higher pricing, Airport hardware has the edge in ease of set up, funky industrial design and longevity. Airport is also one of the first to market to support audio streaming with the introduction of Air Tunes, with the advent of the Airport Express. Much of which has been taken for granted that in its absence we might wonder what life would be like… without your favourite tunes rocking from your living room, bed room or even kitchen at a click of a mouse.
