This design "borrows" heavily from BeoSound 3:

I wonder what B&O thinks about it?

Very nice, and complete integration of all audio sources available today, the irony is that the original BeoSound 3 concept had a visible display, instead of the chosen BeoSound 1 display.
The other irony is that they are probably using ICE Power amplifier modules..
Reunion Island is greeting you!

Wow - I completely disagree, I love my beosound 3. In my opinion it is
probably one of the most genuine recent B&O products that screams out
quality, class and built to last for years and years.
I've never known B&O to claim to have the latest technology or try and
get every feature they can fit in, but what it does, it does really
well. Look at the plastic nature of the Revo K2 - why would that appeal
to a B&O fan?
Also, there is little use arguing between the cost for B&O against most
other brands. I'm sure buying the Revo K2 will not bring with it the wealth of
support and after care service that B&O dealers provide.
There is always a premium to pay for good service, for B&O that is built
into their products. The only downside for me is when the products just
aren't up to standard, Beocom5 for instance.

Dunno, but it looks like a Beosound 3 MKII and, frankly, shows why B&O should look at keeping their products updated.
I like (I don't love) my Beosound 3, but I would like some extra functionality. The facility to draw down internet radio would be good. You can only get FM on the BS3, which means I can't play Radio 5 (or Xtra), as an example.
I'd also like to be able control from my Beo 4, so I can mute it quickly.
I do prefer the LCD on this Revo device.

BenSA:
I don't like it for the simple reason that they couldn't come up with their own design.
Its been done already by a much better company. Can't stand boring copy copycats!
My sentiments exactly.
If I needed a portable radio, I would buy BeoSound 3 over this copy. However -- and not wanting to go into the AirPlay debate -- I would like B&O to add functions to BeoSound 3, for example AirPlay, so I could have the music on the i-device (Phone or Pad), which is always with me with up-to-date music library, and play it through BeoSound 3. I do not like the need of a separate SD card as an additional music storage. Oh, and I don't like wires, so wired 3,5mm plug from iPhone to BeoSound 3 would not float my boat.

Agreed, besides the Beosound 3 is much better looking if you ask me.

You
could of course turn on the excellent quality stereo FM transmitter in
your N***a and play internet radio stations or other content from it wirelessly
through any old B&O radio
