I get a lot of use out of mine despite having BeoLink at home. There's a lot to be said for the convenience of dropping an iPod into a dock and not interacting with a larger system. I listen to lots of books on MP3 while I drive and often I'll be at a juicy part and have to dock the iPod inside while I change and get dinner ready. I'd say

That would be great if it did, but usually they crow about that stuff internally so I kind of doubt it.

I wonder what it was like when color was introduced to televisions. I'm sure it seemed like a novelty and, though we saw real life in color, it must have been a difficult component to manage in the composition of a movie.

Considering the relative dud that the AppleTV has been, I can't see Apple building a dedicated set and being able to push enough into the field to capture enough revenue from apps, rentals, etc. The overhead associated with designing, tooling, building, shipping, stocking, selling, and servicing TVs versus just giving their software to multiple

Here's who should be really worried about Apple making a television: cable & satellite providers. Apple wants the revenue streams associated with content distribution. Gillette will never make the highest end razor, just the one that moves the most cartridges.

What about the idea of having a custom frame made for you by a local metal shop? I work with metal shops all the time on large projects when they do custom details in clients' homes. They're always going on about how they can make a cooler frame than the B&O ones. Why not see if such a person is working where you live and commission a truly
