    Congrats on the new system Tim! Have you downloaded the App?

    Thanks for reminding me of the App, it worked so well out of the box I did not even think of it - I will download it in a second!

    I'll never need one, but I still think it's lovely!

    Did you get any odd looks walking around outside carrying that box? Big Smile

    Re: My new Beosound 8 just arrived - Pics inside...

    Just tested the BeoPlayer (the iPhone-App for the Beosound 8). It`s nicely done - and also works without an Beosound 8.

    The only thing that has to be added is full support for the iPad  - Due to the fact, that it is an iPhone App, it will work on the iPad but does not support the full Screen solution.

    I searched quite a while for a clock with Alarm for my iPad - but I never liked the design of what I found. Now this little App is done right - it works great, nice alarm sound (the B&O "Chime") and now I want it for my iPad :-). For now I will use the iphone-version. But I will rate it 5 Stars in the App Store when it is an universal App for iPhone & iPad (gave it a 4 Star for now).

    BTW - got an airport express for airplay - but I am not too sure I really need it.

    To finish the whole thing off, download the Panerai screensaver clock App! You'll just have to see.

    Good set of pictures, well done!

    I think the packaging is appropriate and refreshing.

    Looks great -

    I see someone is selling one on e-bay for twice the price of buying it from a dealer! Looks as if it will be a welcome success story for B&O.

    I was in two minds about the BS8 as I've still yet to see it in the flesh. I must say these pictures have convinced me it certainly looks great & I'll make more of an effort to go and see one.

                                                                                                  

    If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

    d'accord

    ... I want to buy the remote as a separate unit !

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    Hey Tim!  Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

    Tim:

     BeoPlayer (the iPhone-App for the Beosound 8). works without an Beosound 8.

     nice alarm sound (the B&O "Chime")

    I too downloaded the app, though I don't have the BeoSound 8, and used it to wake myself up this morning.  (iPhone 3)

    Guess what?  NO SNOOZE!!!

    Poor me, never win owt!

    No Snooze? That's funny because my iPhone 4 did have Snooze even after terminating the Beoplayer: When the next snooze was due, the iPhone restarted the Beoplayer until I turned off the Alarm manually
