The following have been snatched from the Rights Issue 2009 document found on B&O website.
Nothing new here, i guess, but it is from a official B&O document.

Upcoming product launches
The products the Group expects to launch going forward
are the following:
New TV product family
Towards the end of the 2009 calendar year, Bang & Olufsen
expects to present a new TV product family with a builtin
wall mount allowing for a range of placement options
because it allows viewers to turn the screen for direct
viewing from different angles. The TV family comes with a
built-in stereo speaker and digital surround sound module
and with an option for DVB HD (Full HD).
55” BeoVision 7 model
Bang & Olufsen has also come quite far in the development
of a whole new model within the BeoVision 7 concept.
This will be a 55” version with Full HD based on, among
other things, 100/120 Hz technology. Its functions include
built-in LED light, which enhances contrast, superb sound
quality with a built-in digital surround sound module and
integrated Adaptive Sound Technology. This TV model will
also have a built-in DVB HD (Full HD) module as well as an
optional Blu-ray player.
New audio product
Also currently under development is a new audio product
for playing digitally stored music in a user-friendly plug ‘n
play solution. The user can connect an iPod to this product,
which can also connect to a BeoSound 5 system
New products for the acoustics portfolio
A new subwoofer will be added to the speaker portfolio.
One of its features will be a technology that eliminates
vibrations. The subwoofer has a tulip-shaped design and
offers multiple placement options because it can be placed
on the floor or mounted on the wall.
New telephone
Bang & Olufsen telephones have been a success for many
years, but under the Group’s Strategy Plan, Management
does not expect to initiate development projects in this
product category. The Group is currently developing its final
concept for fixed-line telephony; a telephone with a speaker
for hands-free conversation and conference calls. Among its
other functions, this concept also allows the user to select
full-graphic display colours.
BeoTime
Bang & Olufsen is developing a watch that will form part of
the Group’s series of gift items. Management believes that
the design differentiates from everything else on the market
in this segment. The watch can also be used to remote
control other Bang & Olufsen products and among its
features is a built-in movement sensor that allows the builtin
display to be reversed for left-handed operation.
