Need another toy to match your Airport Express? I just received Griffin Technology's AirBase today. It's basically a $25 stand for your Airport Express that is supposed to "maximize the antenna reach" or some such PR babble. I bought it because I kept knocking my Airport Express off the shelf it's on, and the AirBase allows you to upgrade the power cable feeding the Airport Express. I don't have a digital camera, but here's a link to the toy in question. As far as it's claims of increased range, haven't had a chance to test that out, but affordable audio toys are always good.

Argh!

The plus is that the AirBase lets you upgrade the power cable.

The minuns is that the AirBase switches you from Apple's grounded cable to one with the typical style of lower-end DVD players -- I forgot the terminology, but I'm thinking of the double-pronged ungrounded type of power cable.

I have noticed that the AirBase does improve the range of the Airport Express a little bit -- probably no different from if you turned the Express upright, but it's still nice.
