I see a very limited use of an iPod/Phone dock.
Basically you have all your music on your PC/MAC/BS5... so why add a dock? A dock is only useful if your digital music is not connected to your audio system. So.. I hope that B&O is not wasting any time on a dock... and that they're spending their time on ironing out and adding functionality to the BeoSound/Master 5
I share this point of view and obviously all of my music is hooked up via N.MUSIC and a dedicated Mac Mini via BeoPort.
But for millions if not billions of people the idea of even using the AUX-IN in their stereos is arcane. For the past decade I've been showing people they can buy a $2 RCA-to-mini-Stereo "y" cable and plug it on the back of the stereos, radios and TV's they've always had. I recall some were mystified one could actually do that, or had trouble understanding what I was talking about.
It was only after plugging it in and discovering that yes, there is a SOURCE or AUX-IN button in their remote control that comprehension dawned. It was interesting seeing their faces.
But the best proof of just what a failure the AUX-IN port has been for the electronics industry, just look at the millions and millions of crappy $200 iPod docks with speakers sold worldwide, with so many of them sitting right next to a $1,000 stereo or home entertainment system.
Now that is almost mystifying.
