Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
This sounds pretty interesting to me. Having this kind of interesting partnership will be great. No Samsung logos and stuff just a sticker on the back of the TV and some kind of media browser with a variety of media support. Maybe the beomedia will be finally done right!

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
I just got an image in my head of turning on a nice new b&o telly and the first thing I see being a big intel logo with a corus of people singing bom, bom-BOM-bom-BUMMMM ![Stick out tongue](http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/04.gif)
On a serious note it sounds exciting though and good to see B&O in a partnership with someone as big as intel... Lets hope it is not a competing standard that loses the race though!

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
From Intel... this is apparently similar, if not identical to what they have done w/ Google, Logitech, and SONY. I wonder how B&o will slot into this from a cooperation standpoint? Or, is this just going to be a rebranding deal?

Nope.. completely different. With Google/Logitech you need an additional box. Intel 's streams directly from your computer to your TV.
The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Glad I used the term: similar ![Smile](http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif)
I *think* the concept of Intel's "Smart TV" initiative is not being fenced in w/ just additional black boxes like Google TV as you point out. I believe it is just a general term regarding the new wave of TV-NET empowerment. My take would be that B&o is looking at incorporating the technology into their sets regardless of streaming or wired. If an additional box were on the menu, then it would make sense that the technology may filter to the BM5 and/or the new "BeoNet." At the core, though, why would Intel reinvent the wheel w/ regards to the inroads they have already made w/ Smart TV, though its reception has been lukewarm so far?

This post sounds like my wavelength OVER HERE.

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
The Intel partnership has implications further (and in my opinion, more exciting) than simply an OS in the televisions. The first implication will likely be seen this year...

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
Karel Uyttendaele:The technology is build into it's latest chipsets.. So basicly a large percentage of portables will have this at the end of 2011.
Remarkable how fast things move!
THIS just came across my RSS.

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
I have always been a big fan of integrated technologies. I will always regret exchanging My BC9500 (CD/Tape/Radio/Amplifier) for a BS3000. I have all of the David Lewis speakers (integrated amps).
I just love the idea of integration with all of the elegance and simplicity that implies, BUT Intel inside of my TV mkes me nervous.
With the tech cycle as short as it is, I'm afraid that integration will simply lead to faster obsolescence. What I would make most comfortable in Televisions would be a great "monitor" with the possibility for great external connectivity, sound, and control. Oops, I think I've just described a number of existing B&O products.
Seriously though, I just can't Intel inside being a really long lasting proposition. No different really than Apple inside.
My 2c.

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
beo-ap:No different really than Apple inside.
Yes, I would be happier with an Apple outside strategy (e.g. the ATV2G).
Looked at the viral Logitech demo of Google TV ... excuse me while I puke.
Thank you, sorry about that, yes I know it was only an early tech head demo ... but please !
HOWEVER
I am really very worried that Trip has waded in with one of his subtle hints.
I just hope he hints a little bit more ... and that B&O do a better job that Logitech and Google.
First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
It is my overoptimism and unconditional admiration for B&O or they are really moving lighting fast (for B&O standards) adopting new technologies.
I see this as very positive, if a company gets surrounded by brilliant partners somehow it gets "infected".

I have the same impression. They really seem to be picking up speed these days: Beonet, BS5 Encore, Beo6, "telly-tech", BL11, it's as if they have finally got the not so well oiled car in gear and are finally moving forward. They have a lot of catching up, so let's hope they can continue this for a while.

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
No OS? Intelligent TV? If it's silicon and it's intelligent it has to have an OS. Even if that OS isn't Intel or B&O. No?

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
Great to see B&O trying to find solutions to Next Generation Home Entertainment. Working with Intel seems strange to me. Just as the world seems to be moving to ARM or Tegra 2 architecture, in jumps B&O into yesterdays game. Same happened with the BS/BM5. Even Microsoft has now jumped ship. I'm guessing they are using the Intel SmartTV platform reference architecture. http://www.intel.com/inside/smarttv/

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
I clearly don't understand why this would be intresting and relevant for B&O.....the only thing Intel provides today - and to be frank - is outstanding silicion/chipset for large format/screen devices - but the digital/convergence is not going to be won on the silicon for B&O - but in SW, interopability/connectivity/form factors - pretty much everything else than what Intel does today (i know Intel is trying to break into this area but for crying out loud; Intel are not the big gorilla in this room)
It would be a great event to have whoever runs strategic alliances and the platform/digital roadmap for B&O to come in one day to the beo-world members and host a key-note presentation (without NDA info) and share the vision of where they are going.....could indeed be an intresting session and reality calibration
Grant me the serenity to accept the B&O I can't afford

Re: B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
All attempts to keep up with the game should be applauded IMO. A quick look at CES2011 is enough to appreciate how quickly the TV product area is accelerating. Many (most?) already have DNLA, access to network and internet content, wired & wireless networking, SmartTV etc. Some are showing almost frameless panel designs which look cool but make the panel almost "designless", meaning the design elements are relegated to the base/stand. Others are speaking of a 42" OLED screen sometime this year.
I'm fully supportive of B&O "going for it" - at some point you need to pick your direction and then pedal as hard as you can - riding in circles waiting to see what will happen to others is a non-option, the rate of advance isn't going to slow any time soon and is all likelihood will increase.
Study hard, make you best forecast, and then be positive and back it with cash and resource to try and make it happen.
I'm much happier to see this than a product road of more and more (increasingly dated looking) BV7s.
Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.
