The Olympus m:robe MR-500i

Comprising of a 1.22 million pixel digital camera, an image viewer and a music player all in one the m:robe MR-500i combines the energy of music with the power of pictures to bring your photographs to life. With the m:robe it’s easy to weave together images and sounds to make the difference between a picture and a memory - amazing adventures and experiences can be recorded in photo albums and combined with the tracks that evoke the mood of the moment - letting you view the special moments of your life while you listen to your own personal soundtrack.

The m:robe looks great too. An eye-catching clean and minimalist design together with a distinctive touch pad control ensure it will be the next ‘must have’ buy for the style conscious consumer. The m:robe MR-500i is planned for release in early 2005.

Olympus has a long history of offering cutting-edge solutions in the rapidly changing photography and audio worlds and the MR-500i is no exception. Giving picture-taking a musical twist, photography becomes an even more fun and creative experience. With the help of a ground-breaking touch pad controller (receptive to the gliding of a fingertip) images, sounds and special visual effects can be combined in ‘Remix Play’ mode. The results can then be presented either on the unit’s large VGA display or a TV screen back home. Thanks to its 20GB memory capacity the MR-500i is able to store thousands of songs and images and there’s even plenty of room to load your favourite pictures from your private archived photo collection.

The m:robe is packaged alongside Olympus m:trip music and image software. The software manages music and image data, converting CD tracks into WMA format. Great music, cutting-edge visuals and a progressive design are some of today’s consumer products’ most essential traits. Put them together and you have the m:robe MR-500i.
