and even your last comment about an orange version for the real one, resultet in this colorful idea

Thank you !

actually looks very very nice 🙂

I am impressed. Which software do you use to model and render those pictures?

All I would say about the playmaker is that unfortunately, if it were to be made of anything but plastic, it would hinder wi-fi capabilities.  It should be in aluminium of course, but it wouldn't work.

Thanks, for mentioning this and going more in deep with this idea.
The only aluminum part is the platter, the casing is pure white plastic , the antenna is placed at top
left where the blank area is and second antenna goes around the whole frame for best receiving of streams.

I quite like this design.... also, I do love the colours.  
The display shows song title and artist... enough info for a stand alone little player like this.
If I needed more info and album art etc.. I would find this easily on the iPad. 

Great job! This design would be worth the B&O asking price! I sure would buy one or two ! 
Would replace all the airport express units in my place. As bonus B&O would sell me a few new sets of speakers as well. 

Only thing bothering me on this design is the black dot on the left bottom corner which is probably the ir receiver?

😁

The oblique-angled triangle design allows perfect usability while wall mounted.
Iphone 5 (128GB) as the streaming source with the iPlayBetter in white design :))

Is it true, that the playmaker can't be wallmounted ?           Epic ....

Yes Dude :) it's the IR eye , with a pure white product you cant avoid this black beauty spot

Hi Tomaz, nice designs you have created. I can't understand why B&O choosen the design that they have. Especially since I have seen the design department with other fellow Beoworlders back in May. I do not see any of the passion and creative that we saw there. We had been told that the B&O play team is based in Copenhagen, but I believe they should re-locate to Struer.

Sad sad sad.

... but it could be the "o" of the B&O logo

Hard to know which of the two teams designed this -- it seems to be BeoPlay yet is on the BANG&OLUFSEN site and initially was not on the BeoPlay site (I think B&O is a little confused !!)

In my view it is design for the market demographic that is into DLNA and a large variety of formats and who use iDevices and/or Adevices (A=Android).

It is not yet ready design wise to be a replacement of the MasterLink or the BeoLink Wireless 1.

Now if we could relocate Tomaz to Struer .... or Copenhagen .....

Happy Happy Happy us 😁
