I just got an Airport Express. This is Apple's wireless to audio bridge -- 802.11g on one side accepts a stream from iTunes (an RTSP stream), mini-jack on the other side gives line-out audio.

I plugged it in, hooked up a powered speaker, and three minutes later was playing audio from a Mac and then a PC. Very simple setup, good wireless reception.

The device can also be configured as an 802.11g base station and as an 802.11g repeater (Apple says it only works with the Airport Extreme base station, but others report than with some twiddling, one can make it repeat a Linksys WRT54G network).

$130+ from Apple's store in SF. Note - they don't have these on the shelves, you have to ask at the counter for them.
