Olympus will be introducing its unique m:robe digital audio players (what a terrible name for consumer electronics gear) to US customers. Unfortunately, not in time for the Q4 holiday season.

There will be two models in this line; the M-500i and M-100i, which will retail for $500 and $250 respectively. What really makes these particular devices unique is the front face is actually a full sized LCD that features a futuristic iconic interface reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Beyond that I don't see these products being very compelling, but we'll see what happens when they reach market.
