AirPort Express alternatives?

Are there any alternatives to Apples AirPort Express? Seems a bit pricey to me so wondered if their were any third party alternatives out there?

To do what ?.. Stream music from iTunes or as a ADSL wireless router ?

Which particular function of the airport express are you wanting? I'm guessing its audio streaming, in which case there are bluetooth receivers available but no idea how good they are or how easy to use. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-F8Z49..._ob_ce_title_0

Sorry, to use as a hotspot on my travels when places have hard wired internet only. So basically would only use the RJ45 input.

So you need an Ethernet to wireless bridge
