I think the industry battle ground has moved to voice ...Hope B&O will come up with a new concept with something tactile to touch.

I believe dealers have already seen internal communication from B&O that Voice Integration / Assistants is going to be the focus for control going forward.
Using the voice to interact is a possibility - you can already use it now to control your B&O stuff and content....
....if you limit yourself to Chromecasting.
It sure is very hyped nowadays. But in the end - will it be sinfull as a universal way of interacting with devices/all devices/in any situation?
I am not sure for my part. My own experiments with Google Home (the new Mini) wasn’t quite, what I had expected - rather disappointing.
But ——- voice recognition/assistance will be one of the ways, we will interact - maybe in connection with ‘old-school’ tactile interaction.
We’ll see, what the industry offers.....when the hype has gone.

I can imagine them adding this functionality to BeoPlay, too. Question is, what do they choose? Siri, Alexa, Google Voice?

Voice control is fine when you know exactly what you want. But if you want to “browse” and get served a number of alternatives to choose from it’s not that easy. I very much enjoy the Moment way of searching for music.Using the voice to interact is a possibility - you can already use it now to control your B&O stuff and content.... ....if you limit yourself to Chromecasting.

My B&O Icons:
I hope that despite the Moment being EOL, B&O still pushes out at least one more software update to bring FLAC support for Deezer (and I’m hoping for Spotify connect support too), which are functionalities that have been to my understanding been tested in beta form.
I would have really loved to see the Moment evolve for better use in a multi room setup, but I don’t think it’ll happen now.
I was holding out on buying two more, if Spotify connect and better multiroom support were added, but I guess that’ll never come to fruition.
What kind of improved multiroom are you looking for? My Moment is perfect in my Multiroom setup. I like the concept very much, the Moment gives me all music I want during the full day, Pattern Play, Moodwheel and the Deezer / DLNA serves me quite well. My only wish would be to make more playlists directly on the Moment.I hope that despite the Moment being EOL, B&O still pushes out at least one more software update to bring FLAC support for Deezer (and I’m hoping for Spotify connect support too), which are functionalities that have been to my understanding been tested in beta form.

I actually feel sad that the Moment is going EOL, not worthy B&O that it is ended in such short time, especially when the software is now very good. For me a Moment mkII or comparable concept would be a proof of life for a solid strategical direction of the company as a full high-end AV manufacturer. The other messages on the forum regarding the future of B&O are giving me the shivers. Hopefully we are all wrong and the company will prosper with newly developed or improved products such as the BL3, BS Moment, BV11/14 and so on.
