I think it would be possible to built it in, both in the BS2000 and BS2500, as they use the "TAPE" part of it.

But send a request to Beodesign.org, and let us all know😁

Hi all,

The B & O iPod docking item will be launched on 10th November in England and Europe, to which I have been invited by my local dealer.  As I understand, it will take an iPod touch, iPod phone and iPad.  I believe it to be a stand alone system. Priced between £750 and £1000.

MERCATS

Hi Mercats,

Thank you for that information! You certainly know more information than me on this one - I really don't understand the secrecy of some of the dealers. I telephoned Bang & Olufsen of Chester yesterday and the Sales Manager was completely unhelpful and wouldn't even give me a month when it would be released. Today I telephoned B&O in Hull and didn't get a call back and sent 2 emails which went unanswered. TERRIBLE service from B&O dealers and they wonder why their sales are down.

In conclusion, yes, I will be buying the BeoSound 8 however, I'll be buying it from Selfridges, London as their service throughout the whole store is perfect! If you get bad service from one place... move on!

If a dealer isn't very helpful about products whose specs haven't even been released yet, I don't think complaining about it is exactly going to lead anywhere...

Being honest I believe a lot of dealers were informed about this product over six weeks ago! Therefore I did expect a lot more customer service wise!

I don't doubt that... but do you really expect them to do 'customer service' against instructions from the headquarters, and risk their business from that side?

In the US, the word is 10 November.  But who really knows what that means?  Not I.  Price?  Nope.  Colors?  White and Black.  I was told that nobody was held to secrecy, so maybe they don't know.  I sure don't, and I probably would.   PS.  New PR firm.   Might mean that you don't let the rumor mill run the business.  How refreshing?

From what my dealer told me the price is going to be $999.99. Which makes me think that its going to be a pair of BeoLab 4 PC's with a ipod dock between the two. Obviously it will be in a new form factor.
