Nice - suddenly, the BeoSound 5 would make a lot of sense, being fixed and portable, providing fully integrated "through-the-home" control of one's B&O.

that was one of several reasons why i don't buy a beosound 5 system. remember the beolink 7000?

I guess that's kind of what we were hoping for when it BS5 originally launched.

thanks cooldude, maybe we can hope for a redesign? ;-)

The BS5 UI would look great on an iPad, but people tend to forget the deficiencies of the BeoMaster 5 as your one-and-only media center. Until B&O get that part right (with full support for iTunes, NAS, HD/SD Video, and others) this BS5 UI on iPad is imho waste of time.

I guess your clever concept should have been the true...Beo 5? 😎, namely a 2-way remote control panel like in the old days..maybe with the addition of a headphone output for true portability around the house?🙂

i had a beosystem 4500 incl. beolink 7000 and 5000. nice and seminal system indeed... ;-)

That would be a first .......lol
However I do like the idea of the plug-in charger dock with B&O scroll wheel and its versatility very much.
At least the ipad will have a proper dock to go back to. 

there is no need for the wheel itself. For example ,in the app store there are plenty of DJ apps where you can spin a virtuel vinyl. thanks to the multi touch a very nice experience...

you tahe an IPAD + remote app+ airport express on the AUX of a beocenter 9300 and you have something much better than beosound 5

and all in apple lossless!!!!!

right... but my concept is, if the ipad is connected to the beosound 5, you can use the wheel for navigation. so you'll have the same sense like you using the beosound 5. maybe you can combinate some function with the touch display... i remember, when i first saw the beosound 5 by my bang & olufsen dealer, i was touching on the display instinctively... maybe it was confirmed habit from using the beolink 7000 and iphone. ;-)
