[quote user="Flappo"] The way they're going , I don't give B&O long . Their prices are one problem but their product limitations don't help either. One of my friends was thinking of buying a pair of beolab 3's for his samsung tv but they only connect in stereo and require a b & o tv to work in surround , a massive outlay

[quote user="Clakke"] [quote user="SecretSheep"] For those of you not enamoured with the Beosound 8, B&O are releasing the iPort which is made by Sonance. This small device allows your iPod or iPhone to be controlled using your Beo4 and on screen displays anywhere in the house. (You clearly need the linked TV to be in view!)

[quote user="dummkopf"] Thanks for the link. The specs of the BeoSound 8, if I can call them specs (very weak), do not even mention if the BeoSound 8 charges the iPod, iPhone, or iPad while inserted in the dock. I'm sure it does, but the specs don't mention it. Best regards! [/quote] It does!

In case anyone in the New York area wants to see it I have it set up in my store as of yesterday! First one to arrive in NYC!

The ML Gateway has a web interface you can pull up on your iPhone that gives you light control of your B&O products as well as a number of other non-B&O home automation products that can be controlled either via network connection or RS-232. I'm learning the ins and outs of this product as we speak but so far I have to say the potential
