Yawn... typo but amazing how pedantic people can be sometimes..... my point remains the same and if you subscribe to a site who reviews andything and everything then good for you, I dont!

Mobeyone - yes, very pedantic. But I got the impression the name itself didn't say much to you, and my major point was to indicate its origins.

Gizmo is a common word for a "dreamer's invention" - and I'd think B&O would fit right in. :-)

Fun movie, too: Gizmo.

It looks so cool

I think appearance is objective. I neither love nor hate the design based on the images. I'm impartial on that. However, I won't be buying it as it looks 'so cool'. I would have bought a Beocenter 2 for that reason. If it's just a device to control digital audio, I expect it to be priced to reflect that functionality. That's the reason I've not bought a Beocenter 2 - although it looks cool, it's too expensive for the purpose. Very expensive CD player.

Hi wtlc...

It's a minor point. Mobeyone was wondering how anything could be called gizmondo (with an n), and I pointed out the origin of the name.

Well Gizmodo is now reporting on the news as well, and is quoting Beoworld...

Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound 5 controller in the wild? - Engadget
Engadget always says unkind things about Bang & Olufsen.
IMO, not sure how anyone can take anything seriously when your called gizmoNdo!

Especially when you're not called gizmondo.

Gizmo is well known, and adding -do points to Ju-do, Ken-do, etc. "The way of gizmos."

I guess this time they are pretty mild, they point out that the design is ahead of its time.

The engadget story is fairly mild compared to what others usually say. Gizmodo.com is worse with stories like this.

A link would have been nice!
