All three of them will be flash player released in typical flash player sizes: 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB. The MR-F10 will have a 65k color OLED screen, voice recorder, and 10 hours battery time. It has a loop at the top for a lanyard, so it can be worn around your neck. The MR-F20 has similar features but adds a photo viewer. It also has an interesting knob on the top possibly for scrolling through the hundreds of tracks or photos you may have on the player. The MR-F30 ups the ante with a 260k color OLED screen, photo viewer, FM recording, voice recording, playback time of 15 hours and that same cool looking ‘jog knob’ on the top. No word on release date but they will be released in Korea first, of course. (Pictured in order)

I purchased an m:robe 100. It looks nice, and the player itself isn’t to bad. The software that you MUST use to transfer your mp3′s to the player is horendous however. You can’t just copy your music over either. It doesn’t go very loud either, so forget about using it in noisy area’s such as riding your bike down the highway. I have e-mailed Olympus and will probably return the product unless they have solutions for these problems.

Yeah, I’ve had the mr-100 for about two years now, and I really like it. it’s simple, fairly easy to use and it looks great in the dark
The software, however is crap. Everyone complains about it. The thing is, it’s slow as snail on opiates and it’s really a pain to use. What I do, is that I only load the songs I want to put on my player into the program. When I want to remove an album (I guess your music have to be kind of organized) I just delete them from the program, if I want to add something I drag-and-drop it into the window. This is a little bit slow, and it’s not the way you’re supposed to use the software (you’re meant to tick off each song you want to transfer) but it works.
