I totally agree with Paul. It's so expensive and definately not 'from the heart' purchase. I looked at the designer's portfolio of work and didn't like what I saw. There are thousands of young, creative types out there, i'm sure someone could have done a nice design. Ar well.  AND I thought PLAY was supposed to be cheap!!! This is practically as expensive as Bang&Olufsen - I dont get it!!!

And yes sub brands - Even Dolce&Gabbana have stopped D&G to concentrate on their ONE brand which is Dolce&Gabbana which is Made in Italy in their very own factory with their own staff ensuring TOP QUALITY!!!   Their shirts and suits are the most amazing quality!!!

Well it´s a matter of taste. Her design are very scandinavian. I like the Essay table among other things.

Cheap? I don´t think but cheaper compared to what we are used to. Play is probably not for "BeoNerds" like many as us. One of the reasons I like the idea of Play. Play can make products that are different from the main brand.

I like both Beolit 12 and BeoVision 12! 2012 can be an expensive year.

Rumour has it (a store person) that the BeoLit 12 will be available in Australia in 2 weeks (bet its 3) for AU$900 versus the BeoSound 8 which is AU$1,500.

Any confirmations m8s ?

There seems to be the understanding here that you need your Wifi network in order to stream music to the BeoLit 12.

That is only the case if you want to stream your iTunes music from your PC/Mac to the BeoLit.

You can however wirelessly stream directly from your iPhone/iPad to the Beolit without using your home wifi..
