Bang and Olufsen’s Beolit 12 sends the FCC a bit of Don Draper

Imagine when the Bang and Olufsen Beolit 12 (label after the break) came in the course of the double doors of the FCC’s underground bunker. Seeing the golden honeycomb speaker and fake-Bakelite styling, the technicians all dashed home to slick back their hair and placed on sharp suits before subjecting this actual iPod dock with AirPlay capabilities to the standard multimeter and rulers treatment we predict from our boys. The pinnacle area is hollow to maintain your futuristic-looking iDevice from protruding and ruining the appearance that you are living in 1964 (did you notice the brown leather carrying strap?). Since it has been approved by the federal government, we are able to only assume it is not long for these shores, and because it is a B&O device, we will expect it to retail for four or five times what you’d expect to pay.
