AirPort Express with AirTunes & Front Row I really like the idea of Front Row, but I hate the idea of having a computer in the living room. The remote control works so well from the couch. What if the AirPort express had a video port to display Front Row from any computer in your house? AirPort Express with Front Row would have the ability to see the files on your computer as well as letting the computer control the device; you control your media from anywhere you want.
