I was sent an email saying the catalog was available and to come into the store to get my copy. In the "old days" the price list was included in the catalog.

I had an experience at a local B&O store last week like yours. When I asked for the new catalog, I got a blank look. Maybe just a bad day but it did feel strange.

mr_anders_son: Meanwhile I am waiting for my iPhone 3G I bought a iPod Touch 8GB for using as remotecontrol I have Beomedia 1 and can now pilot my music with iPod, same as you who have Beoport I just installed iTunes in "Service Menu" and add all my musicfiles. So now I have just to press A-PC to open "soundport" on my BV9, or in

I bought a new Beolink 5000 remote about 8 months ago. I was really amazed B&O still had them. I think the BL8000 will be in production longer especially if they use ICE amps.

While I agree completely with soundproof, I think we are making too much of this by suggesting that the average person's life is changed forever by advances in digital entertainment distribution and control. Nobody is going to buy the iPhone to get the remote feature. Its there if you want it. However the remote app is in the list of the top ten

Trip, I don't think anyone is trying to sell you on anything. iPhone, iTunes, iPod and others are moving in a direction that B&O will be hard pressed to follow. I never buy any music in the iTunes store because I buy the CDs from Amazon and rip them at the lossless rate. Lossless sounds just like the original CD whether its played from iTunes

Alex, I hope that B&O make a Beocenter 2 device that integrates iTunes functions. We have been talking about the iPhone but Apple has even bigger plans. There is a new iPod touch coming as well as a rumored iPod touch with a larger screen. I don't use the new remote app for controlling iTunes on my Mac. I use it mostly for controlling the Apple

Maybe it could be the Beocenter i5000 or i5?

Soundproof, I enjoyed reading your assessment of the iPhone and some other Apple products. I agree with every point you make but also think the best is yet to come. I have used Macs and PCs for many years but the recent changes at Apple have certainly raised the bar. I am going to try to buy 2 3G iPhones tomorrow if the wait is not too long. I am thinking

Thanks Soundproof! The Serene phone will reenter active service as my dress phone.
