Olympus IR-500 "i:robe" announcement clippings

Emphasizing design and mobility, the Olympus IR-500 i:robe breaks free from the stringent requirements of the current computer-reliant imaging process. It allows consumers to organize, print, and store photos quickly and hassle-free virtually anywhere, while putting the digital camera at the center of the solution where it belongs.

Now users are able to eliminate the often burdensome and intricate computer-based process currently necessary to print, save and share images from a digital camera. The IR-500 makes this endeavor as easy as connecting the camera and cradle directly to an Olympus printer or hard drive. By selecting images for printing and saving without requiring a computer - essential for other imaging systems - Olympus has removed several steps in the process.
