BeoMedia 2 won't happen, let alone BeoMedia 3. Why do you want a new version of the BeoCenter 2? They're fantastic as-is.

I'd have to disagree with Soundproof on this one (a rarity!). The iPhone and iPod Touch don't have IR outputs and therefore cannot reproduce an IR signal.

Yes, the BeoSystem 3 has HDMI inputs.

nlb: with release dates like this and common sayings like "which xmas" within BnO the company might as well give-up and go home now. Good job i'm not a shareholder. nlb. So you would more rather the company released a product too early?

Beojeff's first post says some models of the PS3 can send SACD via HDMI.

Where are you based?

Technically the BS2 or 1 will never actually handle HD, it will just pass the signal straight through to the panel - which means you don't get any of the B&O picture processing. A BeoSystem 3 will provide a far superior image!

I believe Jean Michel Jarre used to be a member back in the day, but whether he's still here or not I don't know. Maybe this was just another one of those crazy rumours, or somebody pretending to be him?

I'd say it's rather flattering on B&O's behalf really... I know it's not quite the same, but they say imitation is the ultimate form of flattery...

The 7000 would be the one to go for if you want RDS information with a BeoLink 7000. Otherwise, there is no difference between them!
