Good Points: It is cool to look at it The sound quality is good
Bad Points: Sync is a problem Heavy as a torpedo If you lose the remote control you are doomed Touchscreen sucks
General comments: I bought my M:robe and the problems started right away, I couldn't sync it, the program sometimes didn't recognize it, the syncing stopped and I had to restart it.

I bought a new HD and the syncing problems didn't stop!
I gave up on it, now I use it as a HUGE pendrive (not talking about its capacity).

The included headphones are high quality a ...

Even the Olympus Support desk say this Olympus m:robe MR-500i will only get 5 hours max when used with screen switched off. The firmware (1.03) still has bugs (check your clock at 12PM). Did I mention the poor battery life. The sync software forces you to keep all your MP3's on both your PC and your M:Robe. If you need to clear some space on your PC, those tracks will be wiped from your M:Robe. Plus I should mention the poor battery life. Plus you can't charge it from your notebook or car, you h ...
