Another music companion with a sleek design is the Olympus m:robe 100 jukebox. With its touch panel faceplace and more memory than an iPod it is good competition for the handheld music sector. The music player has a futuristic from faceplate with crisp lettering. The harddrive is up to 5GB for this model and has a battery life of 8 hours. Not bad for its category. Included software has some problems and can be a headache to use but the formats make up for it. Ripping CDs and WMA files to put on it can be easier than before. The total size is 3.5 x 2 x 0.6 inches and weights only 3.5 ounces. Overall this model is up with the iPod and PC user might want to double take this little kamilian before buying the overly popular iPod.
