Hello,

since christmas I´m (happy) owner of a Beoplay A8; the sound is really great!

I use it via Airplay and direct connection with my IPad 2 and IPod touch.

But I can´t use it for direct connection of my IPad mini because of the new lightning connector. Therefore I have registered for notification on Beoplay website to get the announced adapter. But I didn´t get further information until today.

Is the adapter for fitting the new lightning connector still not available?

Thanks for further information!

Regards

Räuber

Read an article the other day, where a top B&O employee said that they expected it ready soon.

Found it:

"Med 100.000 solgte BeoPlay A8 var det en glad Vicedirektør, der kunne annoncere, at B&O snart var klar med en adapter, der gør at man kan bruge Lightning enheder (iPhone 5, iPad 4 og iPad mini) med sin A8'er."

With 100.000 sold Beoplay A8s it was a happy vice president  who could announce that B&O soon is ready with an adaptor, that makes it possible to use Lighting units with your A8.
