Nothing new as it is currently only updated for two-way with the BeoSound 5 ... not Encore.

Does anyone know if it works with 802.11n networks or if it only works with G networks?

Also, will this come to the Encore as well at some later date when they have rolled it out for the BM5/BS5 combo?

The first product to support the functionality of the new Beo6 firmware is the BeoSound 5 with BeoMaster 5.

The following are the key features implemented so far:-

• Support for two-way sources
• Support for 12 languages
• XML version displayed on Choose products. When you click on the B&O product the version is shown underneath the product image
• Bug fixes including (1) stop sending IR which often causes the battery to go flat (2) Improved interaction on page navigation "arrows"

• Three covers on the first page Playing, Most played and for inspiration!!

• Content browsing
  • Browse index – Select first letter of artist or album
  • Artists – Browse for an artist, view the album and tracks of an artist
  • Albums – Browse all your albums, view the tracks of an album
  • Play or Queue selected artists, albums or tracks
  • Initiate MOTS from tracks

• Status
  • Displays a larger cover of what is playing
  • Artist, album and track information
  • Status displayed when placed in charger

• Play Queue browsing
  • View the Play queue
  • Skip to track in Play queue
  • Delete track from Play queue
  
• Setup menu
  • A wireless section has been added
  • Enter Service Menu (0 0 Select in Setup Menu)
  • Menu which enables you to check the signal strength
  • Power menu which enables you to change timeout period to WiFi access point

Other facilities which were actually introduced in Configuration Tool version 4.11 but most people do not appear to have noticed is that you can:-

• Set the IR-output level per zone
• Set IR-output level per macro
• Print list of channel logos

How do you scroll through albums? Buttons or spin the wheel on the Beo 6 like on the Beosound 5?

Gestures on the screen like an iPhone.
