Have a nice day,

Which is why I have cut out any B&O control from my music / radio listening - only the speakers remain.
Roon is my control interface - if I must use an iDevice, then at least Roon's interface and software work extremely well - and at times the Linn app(s) too, as I have a Linn streamer / DAC in my main room. The Linn app even shows me a lot of my podcast feeds from TuneIn!
Yes, Roon and a Linn streamer is expensive, but newsflash, so is B&O.
The Halo's design / form factor limits how useful I can ever get. The screen is too small for searching / browsing in the end. Which implies it was only ever going to be a volume control and starter for predefined experiences. Fine for those who are happy with just that. But with the Moment gone, they're telling you to use your phone / tablet for everything else. In which case, if I am generally constantly having to use my iPad for example, what use is a 700 pound / euro volume dial?
Severed_Hand_of_Skywalker: The Moment was proof that B&O has no Clue when it comes to software and is why I am so scared to buy a halo now with the "promise" that it will be more useful in the future. They couldn't even get the Moment to work with base features after 2 years of trying.

Hooray! Halo is an interesting name. + both Bluetooth and WiFi is promising..
A bit of Googling reveals that there is a "Table" and a "Wall" version.
Here are details of the Wall version:

Sandyb:Think larger Essence wheelie

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Might take (up to) 180 days before we know anything further.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

They’d better do a damn good job with that.....to cheer me up ;-)

May be a hidden link :-)
That might be tough!
The prototype was a larger wheelie Essence remote form factor, with a small display.
Re the display, not the full inner of the circle as a screen, but a horizontal strip display, like the display on a BS 3500.
So I wouldn't expect pictures of album art etc to be accommodated by the display.
Still might be nice though, especially if backwards compatible to strong degree, including for those with Gateway type products.
But yes, I'd expect nothing soon though.

steve1977:AP cannot be controlled via non-IOS devices.
It can! Airplay speakers can send controls via airplay network from their own keypad or IR remote, including volume, play, pause, skip FF, skip BW.Itunes also broadcast the cover art over network so an appropriate device perhaps may be able to intercept and display it?
True, but thats the easy bit.
But will B&O build a remote interface that includes music browsing etc etc - I think Roon's interface can, but whether B&O can go that far, I highly doubt.
