Absolutely nothing to see here :) It's late. Posted in the wrong discussion.

Anyway, Beolit 12 is delayed until Feb and we've discussed it at some length. I guess we'll need to wait until launch.

They just have over 2 weeks to not break one of the biggest retail rules on the planet.

Unfortunately, all information from dealers and elsewhere point to the fact that they will break the rule :(

It seems BeoLab 12 is the product we will see (and some have seen) before Christmas, and perhaps only the dealers' display/demo units, as the actual launch & distribution is rumored to be postponed till January. B&O should at least unveil the products now, all indications point to the fact that the products are ready, even if production cannot meet the initial demand (which, in my understanding, is why B&O are delaying the launches).

I'm hoping I'm wrong, and we'll see unveiling of products in the next two weeks. For many, it would be enough to see and hear the products before Christmas to take the plunge, even if the products themselves are delivered after the holidays. It has happened before, yet resulted in great pre-sales. Case in point: BeoVision 10.

Hi BeoWorlders,

Many people here talked about the BV12 and BeoLab 12-2 and 12-3, but little has been said about BeoLit 12, supposed to be the first BeoPlay gadget sold in Apple stores.

I picked up some pictures on the net, there was an FCC approval "leak" on 15/11 that gave some information on the device: I have other pictures, and must say I find the device..pretty ugly! Too "vintage" for me, I hope the rest of the Apple store range won't look that "retro"!

You should not think this FCC prototype is the final product. Or let's say there will be at least way less "retro-looking" variants available. And you should not compare the audio capabilites (sound quality) with Beosound 3. Other than that, my lips are sealed ;)

That's it!

I made a search for BeoLit 12 on the general forum and found absolutely nothing! Maybe the search engine needs some improvement..
