External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
This announcement suggests that B&O is going 'In a new direction' with an unspecified new product in October. Anyone know just what the product might be?

It's bigger than the iPod dock rumour. He he he.
You'll find out soon enough.

I agree there is an iPod dock coming but there also was mention of Beolabs 6002 and 8002 in the financial report.

Re: External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
6002 & 802 are likely to break cover sooner than October. And they are more a 'refinement/update' than a 'new direction' or a 'new product launch', don't you think?

Re: External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
Just to stir the pot...
B&o rather quietly trademarked the term "BEOCLASSIC" just a few months ago.
No big deal, right? After all, it is just a component of the online "BEOLOUNGE" which was also trademarked by them a few years ago.
Well, the "goods and services" component of the trademark are rather different...
"BEOCLASSIC" refers to <electronic devices> (i.e.) physical products and <networked information> (i.e.) website.
"BEOLOUNGE" refers only to <networked information> (i.e) website.

Hmmm...... maybe a new Beolab 5000 amp with ICepower inside??????????

Beolab 8002 and beolab 6002 don't seem to be going into such a "new direction"... but nice to see them updated

How about a competitively priced, flute-inspired clock that also doubles as a remote? They'll sell shed loads.

Re: External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
This is what I expect in 2010 / 2011.
October: new major audio product. The product originaly planned for q4 2010
November: BeoVision 10 - 32"
December: Ipod dock. Just in time for X-mas
Q3 : new ALT speaker to fit in between BL3 and BL9. Something like BL5000 would be nice. They could use their experince from automotive.
Q4 : New BeoVision maybe BV10 - 52" / 55"
This is what I expect but what do you think? And can you imagine Kalle Hvidt in a pair of blue jeans and a black T - shirt launching new products......

Re: External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
Just thought that this new product is likely to be the Beosound 5 lite, or Link room "client" for beosound 5. That had been announced a while ago, but we haven't seen it yet.
In the menu of some TVs there is a reference to VIDEOLIB, and we still don't know what that is as well.

So no more of this new CD/DVD/BR/Internet/Streaming nonsense. Back to basics.
From now on its "classic" vinyl only!?!

Who knows? ...or rather: why not? 
I think that with the revival of vinyl...
How about a brand new BEOCLASSIC BG4005 BG5 priced ~$1500USD?
I'd bet they would outsell the ~$5,000USD BS5 100:1

Re: External Agency appointed for B&O October product launch
The iPod dock is old news and not ground breaking. Think Beosound 5 lite as the man said - but lite may not be what you think. Should be more in tune with what we want.
They think we're just eating grass....

Yes, I hope it will be a Video Library which is shown as VIDEOLIB in the connection menue of my BV10-40. Means an external video machine with harddisk, blueray, ipod dock, network connection, usb-port and the possibility of streaming videos.
Ok, it´s only a dream...
So it will be an ipod dock without ML and Apple´s new AirPlay. The truth is poor for B&O and hard for us!

But secretsheep (above post) suggest that it's not the ipod dock and that Beosound 'Lite +' is more likely. Just need to wait to see what the '+' involves!
