I'm sure it will be added to the BeoPlay website soon, but until then, here's some info I've found on it:

Also launched today was the BeoPlay A3, an iPad dock with an angular design and active accelerometer that allows it to sit in either landscape or portrait mode
As I said in another thread, the design is not my cup of tea. I'm also not a fan of something which seems to be intended for dedicated use with one device. That could be expanded if it has an aux input but really, I don't think that inclusion would draw a lot of additional buyers because it is so iPad targeted.
There was an interesting tidbit from the T3 article:
"The bad news is that it is not compatible with the
Nice , it costs more than an iPad 3 but doesn't even support it.

..............and that nicely illustrates the potential pitfalls of making accessories for other people's products! Not unlike releasing the BS8 just as Apple release Airplay.
My thoughts exactly. Just as you make a product to fit onto your latest pentagon, some bugger invents a wheel👍

The New BeoPlay Tv isn't on the BeoPlay website yet
Killer piece of Kit!!
As a dedicated member of the BeoPlay 'Target Audience' this just hits the spot!! 🤩
I was watching the V1 Release very closely... the ceiling mounted option is a step in the right direction but still stands in the maybe column as i'll wait to see how the new spec influences the rest of the Brand..... But this news is definately a major relief as I had run out of desirable B&O products to splurge on 😠
This A3 looks Fantastic😐 - Granted it doesn't accommodate the latest iteration of the iPad... yet, but I think this is down to B&O's old school, scratch that Prehistoric, approach to innovation.... hopefully quickly rectified......
I WILL be purchasing this as soon as it is compatible with the New iPad!! And I might just buy a few for the Apartment too!!
Totally unexpected... GOOD JOB BEOPLAY!!!
Works just as well with the new iPad. This is just not "official"...
The official B&O launch is tomorrow... While some dealers are launching it tonight... And some others have had it in their store since Saturday at least.
