I thought the Little Red Ridinghood clip made it clear it was modelled on an overnight case 😕

No woman (not even LRR) could exist for a weekend with a case that small 😂

PS there are four announcements in the

Hmmm... I like it.

Having used a pair of Acoustic Research wireless speakers, the older version OF THIS around the house and outdoors on the patio for about five years... 

At no time did we ever feed anything but iTunes to them -and at the hindrance of a running server, consumed Airport Express(es), transmitters, wall warts, wiring, and just plain ugliness -this new gadget could be a welcome replacement.

I look forward to filling the top with dip and pretzels and jamming away in the coming sunshine of summer.

Well I think this is a super little product. Lee and I saw a prototype when in Struer last year and were impressed at the time. I thing it will become available in various colours and I think it is specifically designed to appeal to women. However I can see a place for it in many homes.

Tue says "Once people listen to their portable music through the Beolit 12, they will wonder why they ever did it any other way” 

Sure, if they buy it! $799 is very expensive for a portable device, if you ask me. I can't imagine it selling in big numbers.

Welcome back Peter! "Many"? At $799? Are you sure? :)

Now most people have seen high quality images. The next step is to listen to it. Even the pre-production units sounded fanstastic. If we were to put it behind a sheet, turn it up, and then ask how much it should cost I think most people would assume a BeoSound 8 price point and a much larger device. 

When the BeoSound 8 came out at $999 we all thought that even that was too high. Our customers proved us wrong. 

We're very excited to start selling this little thing.

well, if it's about £500, consider the alternatives.

Maybe this : http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.212-7441.aspx

Which is kind of more like a Bsnd 8 - but even then, I'd have one Bsnd 8 over two of these anytime.

I really like the Beolit 12 - and as stated before, it may actually finally tip me into buying an i-thing of some description.
