Unequivocally, the winner and grand champion.
Sheesh.
What was Olympus thinking?
They've created what they call "the first digital music player with a built-in digital camera."
Looks really slick, too:
• 3.7" color VGA LCD display
• One-of-a-kind "no button" touch screen interface
• Plays 5,000 songs or stores up to 60,000 photos
• Put music and photos together and make your own mini-movies
• Connect it to your TV and enjoy the movies in big-screen style
• $500 ($100 less than an iPod Photo, which doesn't have a camera)
• Big, super-expensive ad during the upcoming Super Bowl
So what's not to like?
That name is what.
Unbelievable.

I already posted this reply on your most excellent web site (http://www.bookofjoe.com), but I will repost here:
I have a AipTek DV4500 that I bought last year in the Christmas price wars, Joe. It does (pretty much) everything this m:robe thing does and more (does the Olympus device allow you to record audio via a microphone?). The little AipTek thingy (sue me: I am a gadget freak) cost me $100 (+ 512MB SD card). I agree with your Olympus take. Not a first, not unique, and definitely a bad name. Here's a link for the DV4500. Cheers, Ron

What the AipTek seems to be lacking is the 20 Gig hard drive. $400, which isn't much on the electronic consumer front these days, would certainly be a small price for not juggling memory cards.

I have an Ipod and might switch over to this gadget, will by ipod songs transfer over from I Tunes?
