TWG: Jonathan: Can I put my hand up for anyone that can help me out with a white one? I'm in Australia, so of course would happily pay shipping.... Yes, I can help out with a white one. I have now three shippable units at home and my wife is starting to ask questions... But I have to search which delivery service has acceptable prices for shipping to the official other end of the world. ;-)

lol must be the same questions I get from my wife every time something B&O shows up at home...
Thanks TWG, that's great! Let me know the total amount and I'll arrange payment

@Jonathan: I'll get back to you as soon as I have found a moderate priced insured shipping method but your A3 is reserved for you! Seems that wifes are the same great woman in australia, too!? ;-)
Hi Thomas, email sent to you, many thanks
order status:- white for Jonathan, Australia- white for bidstonhall, UK- white for davieav, UK- black for ... Beoberg, DenmarkPlease send me your username via email, too! This makes it much more easier for me do sort who's writing and ordering ;-)
Hi Thomas, my username is the same as my email, cheers
@vikinger
You are looking at the iPad page which of course promotes the newest products. If you go to the Store instead of the iPad section, then the iPad 2 is clearly still available, even without searching :)
They are undoubtingly in the process of phasing it out and ramping down the production. But you will be able to purchase it directly from Apple until the new iPad is introduced, which is rumoured later this year.
I don't think Apple has ever discontinued a product without having a replacement ready or announced.
Beovision Eclipse gen2 (GX) w/ floorstand, Beolab 14.2, 4 speaker Shape and ATV4/Chromecast.
Beoplay A9mk4 GVA, Beosound 1 GVA, H2, H3, H8, E6, Beoplay EQ
@Jonathan: Your white Beoplay A3 is already delivered to my home.
Standard shipping to Australia (Zone 4 country) is 59,- Euro with DHL: http://www.dhl.de/en/paket/preise.htmlis that ok for you?
status update:
- bidstonhall: paid- davieav: awaiting payment - beoberg: awaiting payment
Steffen: The A3 is one of the biggest mistakes B&O ever made...A docking station for one specific tablet from another brand... Shortly after the release of the A3, Apple made a new iPad with a new connector...And nobody expect that future iPads will have the same size... So B&O would have to make a new model everytime Apple makes a new iPad... No wonder they're desperate to get rid of the last ones...

That's not the only problem with the dock. B&O chose the route of going mainstream with the design too !
If I want mainstream why would I get a B&O ?!
I have to say this again I think the ALT lenses technology is a grave mistake for the company. It may be good on paper but not in real like and it really derailed whole company's design aesthetic. Too much compromise for too little!
A3 Design is Mainstream? I don't think so.
BeoDrops: A3 Design is Mainstream? I don't think so.
It is very much so ! I explored the prism theme way back in 2007 and it was all the rage until late last year. Maybe one day I will post some pictures of the cabinet I designed. Look at the prism phone from HTC and the lady gaga prism earphones. How mainstream is that?
may i take this opportunity to thank thomas ( twg) for his time and effort in getting me my beoplay a3 ipad speaker.
prompt and very courteous messages between him and myself , he has been a pleasure to chat to and he has been very kind in ordering these
wonderful a3 speaker docks at such a bargain price !
his english is first rate too.
wonder if my beolab 9's are at a similar bargain price in germany ?...
thanks thomas !

I received mine today. At first I was very disappointed about the sound, until I found out that the 30 pin connector wasn't fully inserted, so it was only the iPad playing without the A3. After inserting it fully it was fantastic
I had mine shipped to my working address so all my colleagues gathered around it and was very interested in it, asking me why I hadn't ordered one for each of them too
Thomas thank you so much for your help. I am so grateful for this. It's fantastic to "meet" people like you, who will help people that you don't even know, and I hope that I can return the favour some day.
Well done TWG.
Henrik, Jonathan, Beoberg, bidstonhall please send me your email-adresses to finally get the invoices. I'm sorry that it took me so long due to some trouble!Davieav received it a few minutes before email-crash.
Well done TWG. What a nice thing to do for others
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
