Well yeah, I kinda like Trip's take on it to be honest, nothing wrong with sitting in a field in the middle of nowhere and getting something that you think is going to work generally it does. OK there's the odd exception like the rectangular mp3 player that they just shouldn't have bothered with but hey, at least we hope they can learn from their mistakes.
I was pondering the other day, their phones are great - looking fwd to the new one and hey lets have another nice mobile but at a decent price I mean after all a normal B&O mobile pitched at about $1200 NZD people would buy it, the current line at well over $2000 NZD is just a bit too stupid. Loudspeakers are doing well too I think.
Any strategy will have to be a careful migration of technology and plug-ins as after all their stuff is/does last a long time so that's key to migrating existing users hand in hand with a fine balance to get enough non-throw away features in products to get new customers into the mind set. I guess how far do you want that music/video/IP mix happening, for safety sake it'd make more sense to make items that offer them individually which can then me connected to give an overall solution.
