Nice photo of new Beosound 6

It does look nicer to me than the original Samsung, and in terms of design I would have preferred Serenata to look like this! 🙁
That said, if it only offers MP3/WMA playback, like the BeoSound 2 that I have, I wonder how well (or not well) it will sell, as the original Samsung version has an FM tuner, photo player, microphone, and probably the same sound..4 times more features for 1/4th of the price.
If you can put a B&O logo as wallpaper on the Samsung's screen, people will just get a B&O leather cover, and no one will notice the difference!
Fresh from having just been named as one of the coolest brands in Britain - beaten only by Aston Martin, the iPod and YouTube - link is launching this slick-looking pocket player, the BeoSound 6. Featuring a characteristic B&O styling job, by Steffen Schmelling, the player stands just over 9cm tall, is 12.2mm thick, and weighs 65g. The display is a 4.6cm TFT LCD, and the player supports MP3, WMA and OGG file formats.
Music can be played from the 4GB internal storage via built-in speakers, or using the Bang & Olufsen A8 headphones supplied as standard. BeoPlayer software is used to transfer and organise music using a PC or Mac, with iTunes being supported via an BeoSound 6 plug-in.
The battery is designed to give up to 40 hours' playback between charges, and the player comes complete with a USB cable, a travel charger and a leather case.
And just to make sure it can withstand the rigours of portable life, the stainless steel and soft-touch lacquered plastic case has been tested in B&O's celebrated torture chamber, for resistance to scratching, extremes of temperature, impacts such as those caused by dropping it, and hand-lotion!
The BeoSound 6 goes on sale in October/November, and is expected to sell for around £350.

Am I the only one to find the leather case particularly ugly? 🙁

Well, I am kind of disappointed with this new MP3 player. It seems to be a rebadged Samsung MP3 player with the B&O logo on it.
I will stick to my iPod then.

4GB?? My current Nano has that which I now realise is too small. I was waiting for this before I comitted to the new Ipods, but looks like there is no need - I will get a 16GB Ipod Touch.
