Saw a pic today!! BS8
Of course this is it - now can you please take away the photo and just post a Link?
By the way... I like the white one better :-)
And did you notice - it will work with the iPad too :-D

Yes π As I understand it, it will come in white and black AND will have replaceable speakercovers in diferent colors like the BV 10
Of even more interest, it will also work with Airport Express via USB. No ML now though.
To me the white pix look like the real deal, the black ones look 'shopped, as one can see the uneven edges, where the black colour was 'filled' into the former white area. I like the thing, it looks quite clean for a Lewis-design, not as 'baroque' as his pre-bv10 works for B&O.

IaM astound how close the final ipod dock is to the patent drawing. Kinda boring and plain look ! But it's available in white βlike in the good old apple days !

I did read the posting in Spanish and it is correct there will be USB and some kind of aux connection. It also has a special remote control included but you can also use a Beo4 or Beo5. I doubt there will ever be ML unless a digital to ML converter box becomes available. Although it is not exactly clear but it appears Beosound 8 will only support iPod, iPhones, and iPads that run IOS 4. IOS 4 is being updated soon as well as an update to MAC OS/X to support the IOS 4 changes. It also talks about Beoplayer but its not exactly clear whether what version this is or if it is an IOS 4 app.
Although the photo may be correct or somewhat close, the description is not exactly clear. This is the problem with this sort of thing because the details may be wrong or misleading. I may have made the wrong assumptions. When it comes to computers and software, it is better to wait until the actual release which is in this case on November 10th. This is one of the reasons Apple feels it so important to keep information secret until actual introduction of the product. B&O should learn this lesson and should not have sent photos to dealers.
Nvm. I accidently responded to the last two posts on page 1.
What a glorious day it's been so far, lol.
If this is the real thing, I don't like it. Not B&o to me at all. Hopefuly the sound is. Still want the Beosound 1 then, which is a piece of art. Design-wise BS8 makes me think of the Beocom 5, and that's not a positive comment..
I dont like it either... Gone are the David Lewis days of the BS9000 and Avant [:'(] Gone is the magic of using the equipment
