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

There are rumors of this coming to an end in the (near?) future via Apple...

Uploading content once to a cloud and syncing anything anywhere in the Apple world.

Assuming that most pople wil not be using the iPad for bulk storage the built in memory seems perfectly adequate.

At this price you could achieve multi-room by having an iPad in each room connected to multi-terrabyte NAS solution for less than the cost of a single Beomaster 5/Beoound 5 combo.

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

In my dream B&O will do a app that can pilot all my B&O gears with Ipad😎

B&O won't do it, because they can't...

Don't bet on that......😕

>>Gotcha 😜!<<

Yes, it is obviously overcoming some shortages of the Ipod Touch. I just won't buy it day one but wait until they release a 128gb or more.

Just note though that the Ipod application is probably weakest. Why can I download from Itunes store but can't grab anything from my own library?

Just one example. Why does that great UI experience ends there? why do I have to get up and dock it and then use my mouse to sync a piece of my own content .....

I am hoping it has suitable  video outputs, watching a movie on a ten-inch screen doesn't sound very appealing in widescreen or 4:3!
