I haven't seen a single product that "integrated" an ipod in a nice way besides the USB to Ipod cable.
It sounds to me like 2 products maybe, a new audio system and then a "dock" that integrates the Ipod into the new Beomedia universe. Since Apple does change the port every now and it would be a mistake in my opinion to design a 2000$ plus audio device around it.
