.
I own 3-4 Airport Expresses, use them in my barn/barn apartment, to stream music from any open iTunes on the home network to powered speakers and an AV jack on a book shelf stereo plugged into an Airport Express. One I had a USB hub plugged into it with 2 printers plugged into the hub until I got my newest printer, which is wifi enabled. That Airport Express now has a ROKU plugged into it to join the home network to get some internet streaming content to my TV and a pair of speakers plugged in that I stream my iTunes to in the living room.

I thought it was also for the USB plug and the speaker plug!

That can be a disadvantage depending on where the nearest plug is and how long your, or the hotel's, ethernet cable is. The fix is separating the MacBook cord from the power supply and using it on the Airport Express and putting the Airport Express plug on the MacBook power supply.

I almost bought one for hubby for christmas but I think the slingbox's days may already be numbered. Verizon FiOS (our tv/internet service) has the capabilty to watch a DVR remotely. I think its a matter of time before we will be able to watch live tv that as as well.
