Airplay

I know I am starting an Apple thread (sorry Millhouse ) but Airplay is one thing that hasn't really been mentioned in the huge Apple event thread.
Now more news is dripping out, does anyone else feel this is going to be any good?

Seems like Apple have opened up to other manufacturers, which is far better than their original Airtunes, where you had to buy an Airport Express or ATV.


I use a B&W Zeppelin as my main speaker in the dining room (all other rooms link from it open plan) and a mini one in the bedroom.
Apparently now though, they are going to have Airplay built in, which is also now not restricted to PC/Mac iTunes, but you can stream from an iPad/iPhone.


With it also being built in to AV receivers and such, and now sending photos, music and video, I guess that as long as your stuff works with Airplay, there's little need for the new Apple TV (unless you want to rent stuff)?
