Interesting, so it looks like the basic bottom-of-the-range TV will be a BeoPlay product after all?

The interview and article has also been posted in English at flatpanelshd now.

B&O Play = stand alone... So it's almost sure that there will be no surround sound module and no BeoNet module.

Not sure if that's going to work : previously, all "simple" TVs from B&O have never been great success until they added surround sound module (which, by the way, makes people buy Beolabs...)

The guy is also saying that they will introduce NEW HEADPHONES!!!

B&O Play to be sold in Apple Stores, I wonder if the TV will be?  Might this be the infamous Apple TV.

Will it come with these speakers?

What I read (between the lines?) was that they will leverage the Apple ecosystem instead of BeoNet - so make use of Airplay, ATV2s and the like

Disagree. All I want from a TV is good picture quality, good sound, it has to be simple to use, look simple and elegant and it should be made of good quality materials. Don't care about surround sound and I would prefer a stand alone device... Cost is not the main issue, but I don't want to spend a fortune either... Right now I can't think of a manufacturer who makes a product that meets all of this criteria... Just hope B&O play can pull it off.
