Come on Flappo, why, having extended much time to compose your comprehensive postings, is it really toooooo much trouble to substitute "&" into bno?
After all you type 'Apple'!
It seems that Apple-fans have difficulties to read simple sentences...
B&O is NOT going to develop any product with Apple, they are just USING THE APPLE RETAIL SYSTEM! Like B&W, or even Bose...

Haha, that thought has crossed my mind. :) ...and if one doesn't want to use "&", "boo" would be more correct since "&" should be thought of as "og" ("and" in Danish) :)
On topic: I liked the statement on audio quality, sounds promising!
Do we know this for sure mbee? What about the three products under the black cloths in the presentation? They didn't state explicitly one way or the other what these were or whether they might be collaborative products.
I think that either way, B&O have to embrace a closer working relationship with Apple at least in terms of licensing things like Airplay, Apple lossless, iTunes etc. I want to buy more B&O stuff - I really do, but it needs to fit in with how I buy and listen to music now. If it doesn't, then there's no reason to move from my current set-up.
Originally in January, 2011, there were 6 new products to be introduced this year.
Counting the Earset 3i, and now the Encore, there are 4 new products remaining.
Regarding one of the posts above, when one considers the investment, energy, and software involved, I'm quite sure Beosound 8 was developed with Apple.
It's just that the glacial pace of B&O design and R&D meant that the Beosound 8, B&O's first venture into Apple dock products years after others had been on the market, meant that it was released just as Apple announced Airplay and the rug was pulled from under it.
I do suspect that B&O wasn't even aware that Airplay was going to be licensed. Knowing Apple, they have probably worked with a few partners before making this public.
Question:
Does the encore play apple lossles and AAC the standard iTunes files?
I believe the Encore plays AAC but not Apple Lossless

Bummer... 😛
