Well, if you're going to throw in entire other products as features I'll just say that the BeoSound 5 is also an iMac I loaded it with and the BMW I drove it home in! Top that!

(i.e.) It is a one trick pony.

May want to check your math.

BeoSound 9000

Radio

BeoSound 5

N.Music

So without attaching external devices like BeoPorts, the BeoSound 5 can actually do more than the BeoSound 9000 and its abilities will increase over the life of the product.

I am so sorry! 😳

I had NO idea you could see/watch pics or vids or browse the internet on the BS5 screen! I guess that finally explains all the wires required! So, I assume you just spin that wheel on the right side? Do you have to preload URL's for selection with the wheel or does it have a pop-up virtual keyboard for entering them? This is really exciting!

Video, Photos and Internet are not displayed on the BS5, but on the TV screen. This is a BM5 feature not a BS5.

OH! A BM5!

😂

Now that this confusion is settled... The original topic sounds even more convincing!

So, has anyone ordered their iPad yet? 😁

LMAO  ...I did order an ipad through a friend in the states. No pre-orders in Canada yet.

In this case B&O cant match Apple, in my opinion. Apple has such a potenical with his interface, Itunes, touch-screens ...

The beosound 9000 is nmusic and Nradio compatible just like the BS5

They both need a beomaster/beomedia unit to provide it.

I was able to place an order for the iPad on the first day.  Unfortunately for me, my wife wants it because she claims she needs it for her work.  I'll have to get one for myself at a later date. 🙁

Have ordered two!  Wifi version for me is scheduled to arrive April 3rd. 3g version for my wife arrives later.

Here is my question. How does the sound quality  compare between BS5/BM5 connected to a Beosystem 3/BV7/BV9 and iMac or PC/Beoport connected to Beosystem 3/BV7/BV9?
