    Re: Another iPod dock!

    Razlaw:
    Intetesting. Could the Beo 6 be arriving soon?

     

    YES...last friday, 3rd of december, I ordered a Beovision with a new remote...the Beo6, due in for installation 28 december.

    I was told Beo 5 would be permanently replaced by Beo6

    Beo6 features larger and higher resolution screen, WiFi connectivity for two way communication to get the icons of your albums over on the remote when using in combination with BS5/BM5. (at least thats what I picked up...)

     

    BV10-40, BS9000, BL8000, BV8-32, BL3, AppleTV2, Beo6

    Re: Another iPod dock!

    So no benefit to replacing a Beo 5 with a Beo 6 unless using a Beomaster/Beosound5?

    Beovision 7-55 with Beolab 7-4, 9s and 4000s

    Beovision 10-40 with Beolab 1s and 6000s

    Beosound 1, 5, 2000, and 3000

    Beotime, Beotalk, Beocoms

    Or maybe a hacker can program a windows/mac/appleTV/Tvix/... app in order to get the covers via a non-B&O mediacenter...

    Let's just hope that the Beo6 will have a better battery, because Wifi uses a lot of power :-/

    Re: Another iPod dock!

    Due to the fact, that both the System-Dock and The Beo6 are on the same webpage I really wonder if the System Dock sends information regarding the Album Cover back to the Beo6? That would be so cool :-)

    BTW is there any information regarding what the Beo6 can do?

    I know of: Album cover

    But I can think of: Textual information of playing TV show (..now playing), DVD Cover, Actual Weather (I bet this is coming), incoming Emails, home automation integration: room temperature, pictures from surveillance cams if someones at the door (will I open the door for THIS guy ;-) )

    this thing really could be a huge step forward for b&o 

    And PLEASE B&O: Make it user programmable (at least on request) - it took me forewer to get hold on the software to program the Beo5 - and to be honest, this is absolut doable for anyone with little knowledge on IT. So make the software with a price of 100 EUR and we all will be fine...we will be even better if you create a webpage, where we can exchange software codes, etc. While thinking about it, this could even be the first step for someone buying into b&o: First buying the remote for a home cinema setup, then starting to buy the rest of the stuff from b&o
