>>h, come on. Be fair<<

Note that I have Ipod Nano for gym, Ipod Touch for Travel, Macbook Air for Work, IMac fro Home. No Windows here. What I need is a decent way to get my music onto my Beolabs. Think a stylish Sonos.

I was hoping this is it, but its just a bigger Ipod Touch. I don't need that.

Hurrah - a giant iPod Touch........just what I needed.

Puncher you do realize it's not as big as seen on the picture above?! 😂😂😂

I see someone's easily bored.

This reveal over at Engadget is very good - begin at the bottom. The iPad is a transformative device.

iPad = What the Beosound 5 should have been, with a Beomaster 5 a'la Mac Mini hidden somewhere.

Just my thought.

It looks a bit squat, or is it just me?

I know you are mac-friendly fellow. What about the pad in combination with the mac mini server? Losless music on the mini (with the calming comfort of a raid 1 device), delivering music digital to beolab 5 (still to buy 😜), controlled by the pad. I am sure something like this will be possible. And adding the infinite possibilities of the pad, even more with 3rd party apps. Nothing beosound 5 comes even close...

Jobs talks about an international release in June. Will that be worldwide or not???

It´s unbelievable good value (read: cheap).

I have an Apple TV today so I can use Remote. I can deal with the slight delay even though an always on would be nicer. I am willing to manage my videos on my portable device, but I don't want to have to decide what music I carry with me. Neither do I want to manage multiple library.

I don't care if I have to pay 699 or 999 to be frank. I want something that just works. I like the idea of the Beosound 5 as a device that does one thing, it just doesn't do it that well as again it would force me to manage multiple libraries which gets old very quick.

I am a slave of content management I guess ......

P.s. Rather then upgrading my Ipod Touch I probably buy this though.

I'd look at this as a device with possibilities -- I'd guess if Struer were to build a new 'Beosystem' type device, it'd  look something like this, with accompanying devices. The iPad would be the Master Control Panel 6, the iPhone/iPod Touch would be the Terminal 6, and all information would be exchanged via wireless (WLAN or Bluetooth) instead of infrared transmissions.

We can always whip up custom 'third-party' apps to give total control of our Beosystems from this thing. Just get the interfaces working. 😕
