Just been told by a dealer that a new TV to be released in Spring (not the BV12, not a Beovision, but a TV in the B&O Play range) would have some Apple specific features/connections... I am guessing an iPod dock or Airplay support.Exciting! Good to see some new products that will appeal, maybe not to existing B&O customers, but to some new customers...

New TV...

Although it will be from the b&0 play range i think that it will still be too expensive for a market that doesn't really know about b&0.
Well, the Beosound 8 is really expensive I think and it is selling like hot cakes...
It's funny because i happened to go into a B&0 store yesterday to check out the bv12 and i have to say that it's the best picture that i have seen to date and i asked about any possible news about the new entry tv.
He said that he had seen a dummy version he also said that it looked fun and also resembled a loewe a little but he didn't divulge much more info as he said that it could still change as it is still in development.
I have been told the same yesterday by a dealer. A new entry TV, a bit like Loewe and with a new chassis (V1). This chassis would afterwards come also into the other Beovisions, also with integrated hard disk for recordings. But possible this new chassis will also be the end of masterlink.RegardsRaeuber
Interesting post :-) The real question I suppose is how many years before it's actually available for purchase :-) I think integrated HDD or dongle capability for recording makes good sense.

Haven't we been discussing this for about a year? :)
It's supposed to look like a cross between the BV10 and an Apple Cinema Display, will be their new entry-level TV, part of the B&O Play and versioning undecided.
Should be around £2500 in 32/40" sizes.
We've been talking about an entry level TV, but the news from the dealer is that it is about to be released (ok, we all know what it means when we're talking about B&O), and that it'll have some special Apple iGadget connectivity or features. He even said, "developed in collaboration with Apple". I had never heard that before.
Apple is developing their iTV and will NEVER colaborate with B&O. Probably Apple will allow B&O to sell their new entry level TV in their stores (although I don't believe this).
I tend to agree with you, that's why I originally didn't mention the collaboration thing... And that really surprised me when he said that. That said if you take an airplay or an iPod dock development license, you do get access to some apple engineer to help you finalise your product. The new CEO has met Steve jobs a while ago I think, I wouldn't be surprise some B&O technology appears in some apple products... I am thinking ice power amp in apple tv.
