Is it possible to control the sources (e.g. Radio) with a beoremote?

Is there one analog IN?

Nice detailed pics here. Looks like the tablet has a mini iPad embedded in it.

Almost US $3k AND I supply my IPad? What if the form factor changes again?  And what happened to WMA lossless support? My whole BM5 is filled with rips at WMA Lossless, the BnO recommended archive format! Already pisses me off that my Essence can't handle WMA lossless right now.

I am sure you can batch convert your files. Lossless to Lossless conversion is... uh... lossless !!!!

7" screen

No local storage

Can play MP3 up to 320, and FLAC/ALAC in 24 BIT

That must satisfy some people :)

? Is there an earphone jack on the bottom left of the base

There is an image where you can see "Radio" as a source.

Also I think there's a IR eye on the base.

I wonder if it can act as the BeoRemote app to control the TVs and Beolink Gateway as well...

And "Discover" and "Artists" ... I hope we can search !

Also will the panel have a wall bracket for hanging ... say by the bed ... or do you leave the Moment behind once you've blown out the candle Devil

I do not think that you have to supply an Ipad, if you look at the pictures there is no home button.

Are you happy?! A new baby is born.

It confirms it is a tablet like I described you months ago.

I preferred the name BeoPad.

I don't like the choice of wood because in many weeks it will be completely scratched.

All your technical wishes are integrated.

I really love the way they made the system look more robust and in some way "new retro".

I didn't like the fancy look of the bs5, to me B&O products have to be somewhat "symetrical" and in balance. And yeah the wood Whistle

Wonder what it looks like, when the (i)pad is removed?

This is real innovation.

Something really new.

I am impressed at the courage and vision.

Looks Really Nice!...How do you put your cd collection on it to play? Do you add a nas to the base unit?

It's a tablet on a very clumsy looking stand, although I should reserve judgement until actually seeing it.

Can't imagine that repeatedly pressing within that indented wood circle isn't going to give some discolouration in the long term, unless the wood has a very special coating.

That's the problem I'm having with it visually, I think it would have looked much better if only the screen area was visible rather than the wide, black dead bezel of the quite obvious drop in third party "tablet/module" - it looks more like a mocked up prototype of a following finished product.

I also agree that the base/stand looks quite bulky - it'll be interesting to see it in the flesh and find out what connectivity it has etc.

Ban boring signatures!

It is in danish but she isn't telling something new, but you get a good look at the unit.

You can see the dilemma facing Bno re: fingerprints. I like the BS5 for no prints.  You can have easy, intuitive access and no prints...unless someone makes a satin glass that yields good quality images.

i would not be concerned - just think of how long they tested this device Crying

They should have noticed that by now.

After watching the vimeo clip the tablet looks better than I thought, but the base unit worse. You get a brief glimpse of the usual wire entry problem and a not very well designed rear face.

Then, on further reflection, I thought it looked like a beautiful chopping board for the kitchen.

Exactly my first thought also - say hello to fingerprints. 

However, a touchscreen is the way to go now as this is the "natural" way to interact for most people these days. I like it but I find it hard to believe that it will be a big seller unless it has a very attractive price point. There are a lot of things I would buy before the Moment - for me, an Ipad Air with Spotify is almost as nice..

Anyone else thinks it looks like an embedded Ipad?

I have an iPad.  I hate using it for music because it's clinical and it's my business device.  Everytime I pick the thing up to do something I get distracted by an email, or a notification of some sort.

 

i love the idea of this.

 

i have a zippo lighter, it cost me way more than the plastic ones from a service station but guess which one I would rather use.

I don't use my iPad for music. B&O seem to use it for it though.

Oh, well...

 

I guess we should all sit in a ring clapping our hands at the mighty electronics B&O has come up with this time.

Please don't mistake this for an iPad.

It is (at least on one side) a touchscreen - ok!

But apart from that, it has nothing to do with an iPad - or rather with the concept of an iPad.

 

And the concept of this new device is, what one should focus on.

It is the perfect 'music-family-nanny'!

It is a music butler, who always knows, what pleases you - his job is to create the right mood in every situation for you.

Those, who need a nanny/a butler to pick the music for them, will be extremely satisfied with it.

 

Those, who more actively choose the music they want to listen to, will do better with an iPad and the music app/apps of their own choice coupled with a Playmaker as an audiosystem - I guess.

 

Should I mention to which of those categories I count myself Embarrassed
