What's the purpose of including a picture of a new product in this ad before it has been officially announced?

I could imagine that B&O is late with launching the BS6. May be they planned that ad some months ago and thought they could launch the BS6 when the ad came out. Or they just want to make us "hungry".

Peter, you are right. After looking at the picture carefully, I see the B&O name too. I was still hoping it couldn't be true that that was the new MP3 player...

Just received the July newsletter and it's correct the new B&O "iPod" is as it was showed up here.

Looks like the new player is more handsome than I thought. The previous pictures didn't do it justice. The layered keypad makes it look very user friendly.
Are you sure this is the new B&O player? My understanding of this advertisement in the newsletter is that this is just an illustration of a generic MP3 player whose owner is encouraged to bring it to a B&O shop and to get it connected to Beolabs to see the difference in sound?

It does have Bang & Olufsen written on it!!

Look carefully at the flash presentation on the B&O site. It has a Beosound 2 and not Beosound 6. Or maybe you are right.

No, you are right. That is the BS6 as it can/could be seen on the mediacenter

Don't SD cards become like a pile of blank tapes that you have no idea whats on them and then you get frustrated that you kind find what you want, or after a while you just can't be bothered?

absolutely not! you don't have as much of them as you had tapes. I have one for jazz and one for classical music and I change the music on them from time to time. No problem knowing what is on them...

It is the connector for the charger.

What I want?

A B&O "even clever" iPod nano. I cannot see how it can be enhanced, but for shure it can :) For example, replace internal memory with standard SD card can be all it need to be perfect ;)

Any hidden news in this space? Really?

Maybe a dual SD card slot design Supplied with 1 8GB/16GB card and the other slot free. It would be wonderful if it would work with iTunes as it would save me a lot of hassle and support AAC as this is what most of my music is encoded in. I think Apple have it pretty much nailed with the Nano and it is good it has no video support, it just needs a bit more memory and a slightly bigger screen to make browsing a bit easier. I would be prepared to pay around £500 for a well executed design.
