Isn't internet-radio-listening by an iPhone limited by the "fair use policy" of your telecom provider? 

And listening radio wit an iPod is not possible at all, or am I missing something?

There's no frequency tuned radio in the iPhone, iPad or iPod , that's right, only internet radio. I guess there's radio add-ons available...? Not sure if they will work with a dock though.

5th gen iPods and iPod Nanos with SW ver. 1.1. have FM tuner. Again this is off the original topic (😕) and this radio cannot be used with BS8 but i think this is what you meant with frequency tuned radio?

Just saw that, wasn't aware! Are you sure the iPod classic I presume you mean has FM? I saw it only mentioned on the Nano...? 

You can place your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch in the dock on the BeoSound 8, and use WiFi to access a service such as that of AccuRadio. And then you are streaming content to the speakers.

Hmmm...Maybe i misunderstood something from the Apple site and maybe then the FM tuner for other models is only with the external Radio Remote, not sure...Atleast on Nano it's integrated, that i physically confirmed this morning.

For me, one of the major weaknesses of the BeoPlayer app for Idevices is that , as for all other B&O-based softwares, it doesn't show any information about track, artist and album names, unlike the free BMLink with BeoPort or even the almost-free Linkplayer..🙁So I don't think I will purchase the new app, even if it has a wide choice of stations.

If my memory serves me right.. then the App is intended for tuning into radio stations and the clock functions... nothing more.

If you want to see track/artist/album name.. then just use the iPod function on your iPhone when it's docked into the BeoSound 8! Why would B&O re-invent the wheel if there's already a way of displaying all the info?  And.. it's controllable with the remote.

Exactly.

BeoPaul... why would you add an music player interface in BeoPlayer when you have an iPod function in very iPhone/iPod Touch? If you want to play your music files start the iPod. Want to listen to the radio? Start the BeoPlayer.

Both can be controlled with the remote. So I don't see the problem.

Let's be honest.. If B&O would add such an option in the BeoPlayer app then everyone would argue that this function already exists on their iPhone/iPod Touch... and that B&O did a lousy job implementing it.
