Ich kenne mich mit der Beo5 nicht aus, da ich alles mit meiner Beo4 steuere. Stell die Frage am besten mal ins Beo5/6-Forum, da gibt es die Spezialisten!

Danke sehr, habe in dem deutschen Thread zum ATV weitergeschrieben, den hatte ich nicht gesehen.

Si Gracias!

Come on B&O!  Get in the game!

And here's a video of Pioneer's new, Apple-friendly equipment.

What would B&O lose by doing this sort of thing with the Beosystem 3/4?  Nothing in my opinion.

What would they gain by doing this?  My money and, I suspect, the contributions of many more.

...but you can use ATV2 with B+O so I do not ge what you are talking about? However in general B+O has missed the train already. They will discontinue the 3200 and 9000 and I guess the BC2 sooner or later as well. So no more Audio but instead they seem to come out with a Beosound5 stand alone that nobody wants and nobody needs (?) Does not make sense to me and to sell TV's only will not be the solution. They still live from the intergration via Master link but once all the Audio goes that may be of no further interest. On the other hand Apple gains ground (e.g. WIFI link Ipod with B&W Loudspeakers). B+O could do this but they think the world of themselves and we will see whther they will be stil around in 10 years time. I think if Aplle continues to go ahead they will have intersting products with good design with the Audio scene and maybe Video scene. 

It should be very easy for B&O if they would integrate an airply receiver into all Beolabs. So you could listen to music with an IPad/IPhone/IPod touch with only any Beolabs. But B&O will probably miss this train...

Impressive to see other consumer products companies adopting AirPlay technology.  

In the fullness of time, this will be the death of the ubiquitous dock/speaker devices, which I always thought were an unnecessary technological dead end.

The problem with Airplay is that is propretary tech. It's Apple closed ecosystem version of wifi used for audio (i.e., Sonos, Squeezebox etc.).

I don't like being tied into a third party's products, nor do I want to pay extra for the questionable privilege.

However, apart from that, it's not really a good idea to build wifi into speakers. The closer you place the wifi-receiver and the more powerful the speakers the more problems with dropouts you will get. It would be a *** to make something like that work with the BL5s or 9s, or even the 3s.

I really like wi-fi, so it's not a question of me being against tech or anything of the sort. I not only like tech, I use it every day for both work and pleasure.
