Olympus MR-F20 MP3 Player
Earlier this year Olympus released their new m:robe MP3 player, the MR-F20. This was covered by a few places, including on dapreview. Details were a bit thin though, so I’m going to add a bit here now:
- 512MB Flash
- FM Tuner
- MP3, WMA, OGG formats supported
- Voice Recording supported
- Direct Encoding supported via Line In jack
- JPEG viewing supported
- Charges via USB in 3 hours
- 11 Hour playback time (Lithium Polymer Battery)
- OLED Display, 96×96 pixels, 65,000 colours
- Windows & Mac connectivity supported
- Supports Japanese, English, Korean, & Chinese
- Dimensions: 63mm(H) x 34mm(W) x 14mm(D)
- Weight: 32g.
The most interesting things here are the FM Tuner, OGG support, voice recording, and the direct encoding. Depending on a buyer’s priorities such added features could overcome the mediocre industrial design and the smallish display. Street price at the moment is around 16,000yen.
