The m:robe is a digital camera, image viewer and a music player all in one.
"It is certainly one of the more serious threats to Apple's iPod hegemony," said Linus Monterio, Divisional Manager of Olympus at Al Sayegh Brothers, master distributors of Olympus in the UAE. "Olympus, best known for its photographic products, has definitively announced its entry into the portable hard disk music player business with the introduction of two m:robe brand products.
In contrast to most Japanese electronics manufacturers, Olympus has always ignored the audio business. That it now feels it must jump on the bandwagon is a clear indication that portable digital audio and video players are becoming a booming business. "We believe that because of some unique features we can compete with Apple," said Linus Monterio.
