Sorry to say that the BeoSound 5 will likely be the only purely new product. From what I hear, though, there will be many tweaks, size variations, upgrades, etc. to the existing lineup.

I swear to god. If the BeoMaster 5 or any other product has Vista on it I will boycott the damn thing. I'm serious Bang! Are you listening!? I'm already uneasy knowing that Windows XP is furtively running somewhere in my house!

Stan, What is the part number on your PC input. We just recently went through a bit of trouble trying to get the right adaptors in and finally found success. I'll check the part # you post against what we have in stock and see if it matches. Apparently the ones we have are the only ones suited for this specific task. Also, it's been my experience

Expo, You are right on this. I have trained my fingers to avoid it fairly well (thank you piano lessons), but I believe that having the wheel shut down as soon as dialing begins would be a welcome change in software.

SP is dead right, though, that the concept of a set-top-box that aggregates all forms of content is practically unbeatable. This is

As Roger's post suggested, it is widely assumed (but I repeat: not confirmed) that the BeoSound 5 will be a product where there may be several in the house connected back to one master box. What I meant by the comparison to today's N.MUSIC browsing experience is that if you are not in front of your BeoPlayer software or looking at a screen with

I bet you had a cellular phone in your pocket!This is common with most loudspeakers and nothing to worry about. You should be able to replicate the experience to put your mind at ease.

TWG, I am indeed an employee of Bang & Olufsen. As for when we'll really see the BeoSound 5... can't say for certain.
