To my surprise it has no FM radio. So this cannot be regarded as a Beosound 1 successor. Anyway, I also think it looks good at the official pictures. Best looking and possible best souding docksystem.

I think its really, really great!! Best looking dock ever!

Probably the nicest looking iPod dock on the market! Hope it sounds as good as it looks...

My friend said after seeing the B&O link:"There are some who say that you can't hear porn, Bang & Olufsen rejects that..."

I believe that would've created a user interface problem. And the iFolks have been saying that FM radio is dead for a long time anyway...

No doubt, FM radio is dead for a long time, but:

1. Are IPod-docks up-to-date?

2. Up-to-date is airplay, but the Beosound 8 doesn´t support this new technology!

Come on! Stop, please: BS8 is just a docking station for the iPod/iPhone/iPad and only has sense together an iPod/iPhone/iPad (and a Pc or MAC), so part of the actual and future featrures depends and will depend on the source, I mean iPod/iPhone/iPad... Can the BS8 make me the morning coffee?? Maybe in the near future with an eventual iCoffee App 😎 If so, I guess this coffee will taste and SOUND really nice...

Not only my opinion about missing airplay: p.e. /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beosound-core-deezer-hifi#post-2134123 (from Jasper050).
