I actually was thinking about buying one, but now..... not a chance !!

Why is all the latest B&O products only 85% ?

Why on earth is the latest compact music system little red riding hood is running in the woods with, not able to create it's own wirelses network so the AirPlay functions could work when i take it to the park ? I don't see the minijack wire in the commersial, i only see a lot of iphones lighting up when she is near by, which implies that the AirPlay will work without connected to your home network..

Nice try, the sound should be awesome, but i don't need another stereo in my house. AirPort express with BM7000 is perfect when im home.. I needed the Beolit 12 to be able to go where my home network is UNAVAILABLE...

Is it just me ??

Then just go out there and buy one...

You can set up your iPhone 3gs 4 en 4g with iOS 5.0 to act as a personal wifi hotspot, then the BeoLit 12 streams your music directly from your iPhone.

Note. iPad and iPod are not able to as a personal wifi hotspot.

Actually the Iphone 3GS won't act as a personal hotspot. Only Iphone 4 or later as stated in this Apple support document:

True, but as has been discussed elsewhere, this is the first product under a new Brand, so I'm not certain that we need for all of our traditional audience to 'get' it.  Our first sale was to a traditional client who came in to see it, and took it immediately, and our second sale was to a client whose only other purchase was a BeoSound 8, and now he can go portable.  I want to see how it does once it is properly displayed and hi-lighted in the shops.

I am a member of the traditional audience and I get it.  I think Tue's video was dull but I understand what he was trying to do.  Some of the remarks in other forums were a little unkind.  Tue should not do those videos too much.  A lot of people couldn't get by the accent.  They might want to make videos with a presenter speaking in international English.

Anyway I will be at the local B&O store today.  I will probably buy a Beolit 12.  FM is not a consideration for me.  I only listen to internet radio or satellite radio.

This is a muddy area, as will be my response...

iPhone hotspotting and AirPlay have been attempted, but I would love to hear from one single person where this actually works well, if at all.

The real answer for this dilemna, will be the launch (based on strong rumor -meaning LIKELY to happen) of Bluetooth AirPlay. Apple seems to be leaning in this direction and several OEM's have launched said products. With Apple taking this up they can guarantee the technology and work to improve the inherent compression issues that hinder it in its current form.

This will, of course, mean the launch of the Beolit 12 Encore.

Just spoke with my local B&O dealer who said they received the Beolit 12 yesterday and have already sold 4.  I think this is going to be a good selliing product.  It is not in the Apple store yet.

We get our first BeoLit 12 tomorrow followed next week by an initial 3 to sell...looking forward to giving it a good test!

It is in the Apple store.  That was fast.

What's in my car then? It claims to be DAB!
