The most novel idea is probably that you subscribe to streaming of all music. They litteraly mean all music, gone is your own music libebrary.

But the fact that you have the chioce for all sorts of music perhaps makes the MOTS technology even more appealing and usefull. Perhaps even needed.

I would say no... and the reason being is that this is no different then most products already out there and I see this as just a bigger itouch with a different UI, we dont want all products to be like apple!

What you see with the 5 is the wheel which gives the 5 the mechanical feel that we all associate with B&O and this is an essential part of all things B&O - think Ouverture, 9500, 4500 BL7000 etc.

Have a look at this:

A mucis browser, always connected, easy control and (IMO) a very nice design: http://www.business.dk/article/20081114/techmobil/81114017/

their own website is this: http://www.touchdiva.com/

you pay £7 every month to have acces to all music... Interesting product, aparently has a amp for driving passive speakers (they even claim it is a ICEpower amp made by B&O)

best regards
