I had a phone call a day ago from a dealer asking if i wanted a B&O Ipod dock and speaker. It is expected to arrive mid November and cost £850. Comes in black and white.
For that price it really has to be twice as a good as say a Zeppelin.

I'm really excited about this - this could be the product that either makes or breaks the brand. I'm hoping it makes me love the brand like I really used to. I've found that them extremely vulgar in today's recession hit environment - let's hope it has the magic of B&O from the past!

I somehow doubt that! This sentence ring more truth if you added "for me" at the end of it :)
For less then 900 Euro you can get your old Ouverture rebuilt to this link and control it like any A.tape from any room.
That is a more cool Ipod dock.. i think.
For exampel... Who wants i big iPod B&Ock with speakers, when you got some Beolab5 standing in your livingroom.
A small Dock, with MasterLink/BeoNet in the back would be prefered insted. or integratet like the
The Ouverture iPod dock is a fantastic idea. Is this real? Has anyone here used one of these?

I think this is a great solution.
There is no one single solution for the iPod market, too many users to cover.
I think the BS8 concept is good, but B&O should supplement the rest of its music systems with a simple plug-and-play dock with charging and Beo4 control.

Yes it´s real.
I contactet Beodesign.org And got this reply:
Hi
Thanks for your interst in our product :-)
We just finished a new industrial produced controler
with a new iphone plug (only 1mm thick), 3 programmed
micro-controler, now supports your playlists, ...
Price of this kit is 940 Euro (simply send us your
ouverture, we rebuild it). We offer this kit
only as a privat sale due to registered trademarks of bang & olufsen and apple.
Normally there is a big waiting list - but some Prada Flagstore
has ordered two units and need only one - so we have one free
unit at the moment.

Bet it's not long before they offer these for BC9300 etc?, or someone comes up with a Masterlink iPod doc

Can this modification be done with U.S. model BeoSystem 2500?
That modification is spectacular! It would be equally spectacular if they did the same with the Beosound 2000/Century.
