p2pnet.net News:- There’s a new player on the circuit.

It’s called the Olympus m:robe, able to handle mp3 and WMA, including variable bit rate WMA. .

The flagship is the MR-500i with touch-screen and touchpad operation, a 20 gig hard drive, a 3.7" VGA monitor, a graphical image calendar function, and a camera function that turns the large LCD monitor into a viewfinder so users can capture images simply by touching the screen.

"Under the concept of ‘REMIX YOUR IMAGES,’ it also features a Remix Play mode that allows users to freely create a fusion of music and images, by combining their favorite music and images with a variety of visual effect templates to easily edit and play original image content," says Olympus.

The MR-100 is a player with a five gig hard disk.

m:trip music and image management PC software is included with both the MR-500i and MR-100.

Will it play video? Doesn’t look like it.

Pity.

Currently, the players are available only in Japan. We don’t have a price for them, or an ETA for your neighbourhood.
