Ok..we all know AirPort express is totally useless for WiFi music streaming (can't play to multiple speaker sets simultaneously, can't control music remotely etc. etc.).

Does anyone have the scoop on when Apple will get a useful MP3 streaming device to market ?...or a second generation of AirPort Express that properly handles WiFi audio streaming ?

My new house is ready in Feb, and barring Apple getting it right between now and then, I'll be outfitting my new place with SqueezeBox...which is a company that got it right the first time...:-)

The thing didn't ship until July, you won't see an update anytime soon.
Maybe late next spring. But I doubt you'll get the features you want.
