  Olympus M:robe 500i (20GB)
  By James Kim
  
  Review summary: The M:robe 500i is a beautiful-looking, multifunctional device, but we can't recommend it due to poor overall performance
  
  Pros: Minimal touch-screen design ; beautiful interface graphics ; built-in 1.2-megapixel camera ; neat Remix slide-show mode
  
  Cons: Touch screen isn't always responsive ; mediocre battery life ; bulky ; slow processing ; must use Olympus M:trip software ; cradle is required to recharge device ; subpar photo quality
