For those interested, I just saw the Zeppelin Air pop up in the Apple store:

I'm hoping that Magnolia carries the new Zeppelin Air as I have a ton of Reward Zone points I'd like to use.
The new Zeppelin will serve as my sound system in my master bedroom. Air functionality is amazingly seamless and I can't wait to get my hands on the new Zeppelin! -
Ditto. That way I can use my discount :TComment

The only downside is that Apple Airplay downsamples everything to 16/44.1kHz so any hi-res audio files will not be enjoyed in its fully state. However, if you stream directly from your computer and not an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you MAY get higher resolution audio files. I am not sure whether the Zeppelin supports the higher res audio files.
Not sure if this important, but it is what it is.
BTW, I'd get one if I did not already have the original Zeppelin.Panasonic TC-P65VT30

They will have it. Apple Stores have an exclusive for something like 6 weeks. After that everyone else including B&W dealers and Magnolia stores will get it.Originally posted by BdoUK

Needless to say I couldn't wait for Best Buy to get the Zeppelin Air...
Found this one at my local Apple Store. So far it sounds great. The AirPlay functionality works as advertised. However make sure you follow the setup instructions exactly and use the included ethernet cable. I tried to use the ethernet cable running from my PC to the router and had issues initially.
More impressions to come

Hi, I've been using my Zeppelin Air for around 6 months now and it was working perfectly until I connected my new Apple TV. After connecting and setting up the Apple TV my Zeppelin was no longer found in my AirPlay devices in iTunes. I've gone through the Zeppelin Air setup procedure again and connected...02 September 2012, 02:54 Sunday -
Hi,
I've recently purchased the Zeppelin air. Trying to get the 'airplay' active doesn't work, although I'm proceeding the guidelines.
There must be an answer, but reading the posts everywhere doesn't bring me the solution to my situation. The B&W-website doesn't help either.... -
I've just get the Air Zeppelin in an apple retail store in italy.
the packaging and the product are amazing but the setup and lackness of informations are totally awful.
You have to connect your pc/mac (I've got a macbook) to the device with a ethernet cable, after that... -
Well I've had my Zeppelin for just about 2 years now and it has been flawless up until this last week when I upgraded to an Ipod Touch 64 Gig. A couple of times last week when I docked the new Ipod, I got a flashing red light. I overcame this by turning on the Zeppelin before docking the Ipod. Only... -

Changes look to be:
- Apple AirPlay support - Ethernet jack on back, WiFi seemingly built-in though not specifically mentioned on the site.
- Direct digital...
