Overpriced gadgets, designed by people that are way too high on their own supposed "talent".

With great design found in stores like Target at reasonable prices, maybe B&O should swallow their pride and start designing for the mass market of today, because right now when I think of them, I think of audio equipment from the 70s and 80s


btw I still love my Beomaster 1900!]]>Oct 29th 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/

I think that is the gist of it, much like buying "I am rich" iPhone screensaver.

Me? I'll stick with my Pontiac.]]>Oct 29th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/I mean take the "uf" away, and you have Bang Olsen!

Even as far back as 2001 they kinda lost it. I remember I was finally in a position where I could afford B&O stuff, and loved the design. Just got my first iPod. Walked through the B&O store and it was all CDs, mp3 was nowhere to be seen or heard. ]]>Oct 29th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/
That's the problem with most of their stuff... Cool looks and operation, but mediocre sound quality (As compared with products half their price with conventional design).]]>Oct 29th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Oct 29th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/The winged shaped Beocenter 2 can play DVD,Divx, MP3 files and so on

You can access your MP3 over Beoport Network. A box connected to a PC could be also a very small HTPC with old Pentium in the corner of your house. So can access with all music systems and the Beo4 remote those files.

They have 2 MP3 Player , one without display (like shuffle) ,one with display

The BS3200 audiosystem has an internal hardrive, you put a CD in the audio system and press a button and it will ripped at 320 kbps onto the harddrive

They've the Beomedia 1 Box. For photos, videos,mp3 + WifI

And the last Blogbuster product will be the Beosound 5, far beyond what apple could offer us ...
High-end fully difital audio dream---

"The BS3200 audiosystem has an internal hardrive, you put a CD in the audio system and press a button and it will ripped at 320 kbps onto the harddrive"

Yes, I think I have heard of these things. Is it something like a "come pewt her"?]]>Oct 29th 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Oct 29th 2008 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/And the Beosound 4 has an SD-Card , for Mp3-- It can even record from current radio-station or input source directly with 128 kbps onto the Sd-Card.


The Cell phone , Serenata has a 4 GB flash memory built in ... for Mp3 and so on

So you see bang & Olufsen = MP3 at nearly all products]]>Oct 29th 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Vintage B&O is just very cool and waaaaay nicer designed that tthe new stuff. that 'winged' thingy is just the pits in esthetics, and so are their new top of the line speakers. Good design at B&O left with Jacob Jensen, about the same time that Braun stopped making cool stuff.
They had a really fantastic form language then. Now? not good...
It DID take them forever to get to market with MP3.]]>Oct 29th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Oct 29th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Oct 29th 2008 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/Oct 29th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/bang-and-olufsen-pulls-the-plug-on-cellphone-production-some-jobs/http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=211859_-1__0_~0_-1_10_2008_0_0&em3281=&em3161=
