Very cool! Instant buy ;-)

Definitely "out of the box" but I wonder if I can read it without glasses- the display looks small, but clarity and backlighting can make a big difference. Surely they must have thought about that...

If the price is reasonable (which, IMO, is somewhere between the £100 and 300 euros that have been mentioned so far), this might be the first B&O I will buy myself new! For more than 10 years, my alarm clocks have all been branded Nokia and doubled as cellular phones, but this could be finally something more useful as an alarm clock...

We seem to be coming up to an exciting time for B&O. A lot of very desirable and important products are coming this year. The BeoTime and iPod dock are little sweetners - the BV10 and bigger BV7 would seem to be the bread and butter models along with the BeoCom 5.

Hopefully the Beocom 5 is NOT like an opened or unfold Serene :-( 
I need a simple to use phone and not s.th. where they forced to say "Hey, it's a piece of design!" but nothing more like they did on the catastrophic Serenata or Serene.


Back to topic:

- Usermanual?
- release date? (I can't wait to see it in person!)
- official price? (Seems to be no clarity here; somebody tolds 700 Euro, somebody 400, 300 ...!?)


If it is worth the money (after inspecting it in the store) I think I'm gonna make up a review for the forum.

The new audio product can be used as a plug & play (compared to the more complex BS5/BM5 combo where you need to upload music to the BM5 before/while using it) system out of the box. You can dock your iPod. This is one usage, the other is as a link room system for remote control of the BS5 in the main room. Expect a relase in Q4/2009 and a price in the range of the current BS4.

Does it have is own DA-converter?

This sounds very interesting. So I think it will have some display for browsing the Beosound 5 from a link room?!

I can't understand why every manufacturer offers an iPod dock. If I buy a highend audio system I shouldn't even think of "MP3" especialy MP3 & iPod as the iPod is the cheapest sounding player compared to the Sony NWZ Walkman series and Cowons S9 etc.
