Like most (all?) only seen the photos of the new Beo5 but one thing strikes me. With my Beo4, whilst viewing to TV or listening to the radio etc; it rests most of the time on the arm of the sofa. Surely with the shape of the base of the Beo5 it would be a delicate balancing act with a strong risk of it falling off!

Beo5 - Practical shape?

Maybe there's a weight in the bottom...
The Beo5 is a strange design but maybe its better than having a Beo4 with a wide display at the top.
Beo5 is bottom heavy, however it will still be a bit precarious to have it sitting upright on the arm of a sofa. It should however lay down without any problems. The ball has a flat section on the back of it.

I doubt it would be any worse than a BS2, and that has always seemed fairly stable (and crash resilient)
Have you seen the the Beo 5 "in the metal" yet, Jazz? 😕
I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's avail.
seems like over priced tat for a remote, get a laptop that does 10000000000x more for same price.
im off to currys now
I had my hands on a Beo5 today in my local B&O shop. It is very nice to hold. It is not as heavy as you could imagine. The display is very similar to this one used in serene. I like Beo5 very much, you can also see and feel the very good built quality and the fine materials. A great device!
