Don't understand the fuzz about the whole "tracing" stuff.. It's been known since IOS4 was released. It's even been discussed in a couple of books. Granted.... positioning was recorded IN your iPhone, nothing was transmitted to Apple. Keep in mind that other smartphones do the same. Also... whevenever you take money out of an ATM

Doc... omdat MediaPlayer op PC ook niet werkt op een Mac... BeoPlayer maakt gebruik van Microsoft MediaPlayer... Bijkomend punt is dat je BeoPlayer niet nodig hebt om een BeoSound 8 te gebruiken. Die 2 zaken hebben niets met elkaar te maken. B&O heeft wel een oplossing om BeoPort op Mac te gebruiken met aangepaste software die dan weer gebruik maakt

Lanny.. it would have been "nice" if this was included in your original posting... :-)

I think no one except Apple knew what the dimentions of the iPad2 were going to be before launch... So B&O bashing for the BS8 not being 100% iPad2 compatible is a bit harsh... let's just hope that some kind of adapter will surface.

Apple AirTunes has nothing to do with USB. AirTunes is a wireless receiver in an audio system. The BS8 doesn't have the receiver. But you can connect an Airport Express to the aux input of the BS8

No.. you can't.. you have to see the BS8 as USB Speakers.

You can make the BL2 as boomy as you want... but you can also set it up to be rather discreet. Depends on how you set it up. Or... try the BL11...

How do you update? Pressing the "Upgrade" button does nothing . UPDATE: ah... updating through the AppStore App :-)

At launch it will just be a stand alone product.. with the possibility to connect to other Beonet devices in the future.. They have to start somewhere... Just see it as a first product of a new generation..

trustedreviews.com has done an in depth review of the BeoSound 8 and has given, mostly to my surprise, an overall 8/10. Here's the writedown: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mp3/review/2011/01/28/Bang---Olufsen-BeoSound-8/p1
