What is better?

What is better the 40GB photo Ipod or the Olympus mrobe 500i. Thanks!!

there is already a topic on this

Even so, I'd go with the mrobe 500i if just to be different. It's not "all that" though. All it is is a portable music player with a color screen and a 1.3 megapixel digital camera.

ipod is starting to seem overpriced and overrated

That's because it is. But the mrobe isn't great either. Yeah, the digital camera feature's cool, but look at the Archos AV300 (the model before the new AV400, which is on free sites). It had portable video player functionality with an attachable video/digital camera. Get one of those instead. Less stress on the wallet + more functionality.

here is the thread that has already been posted

i thought about and is sticking w/ the photo ipod.

The mrobe is targeting the "black sheep." That is, all those who want to "rebel" against capitalistic trends and all that hooh-hah will get this and claim it's an expression of their individualism.
