The currently shipping version of Olympus OI Share on iOS is v2.02 and does not include the control functionality for the E-M1. The version that the Olympus rep was showing camera control on when he demo'ed the product was in beta test, and I believe is now going through the approval process to be offered on the App Store.

If you install the current version, you'll be able to connect to the E-M1 with it, but you'll only be able to move image files (JPEGs) around, little else. The new version should up and running soon.

I don't know what the situation is with the Android version at this time. I don't have an Android and don't follow products for that platform.

OI.Share for Android works well with the E-P5 - though unfortunately, only in iAuto mode. I hope the new version for the E-M1 will add Manual/Aperture priority mode control for the E-P5 also.

More comparisons show the E-M5 has some better image qualities

Two Tenths of Sweet FA I'd say.

There are such words ... , but I find it thus peculiar that in giving print sizes per ISO that the review puts the E-M1 as slightly better than the E-M5 (which gets fewer enumerated assessments --e.g., no mention of "wall prints") !? --to wit:

Olympus E-M1 Review -- Print Quality
Excellent 30 x 40 inch prints at ISO 100/200; a good 16 x 20 at ISO 1600; a nice 8 x 10 at ISO 6400; and a good 4 x 6 at ISO 25,600.

ISO 100/200 produces excellent 30 x 40 inch prints, with sharp detail and vibrant colors, and wall display prints possible at 36 x 48 inches.

ISO 400 prints look nice and crisp at 20 x 30 inches, with good wall display prints possible up to 30 x 40 inches.

ISO 800 also yields nice 20 x 30s, with only mild softening in the red channel and minor luminance noise in some flatter areas.

ISO 1600 shots look amazingly good at 16 x 20 inches, a large size indeed for this ISO

With their latest offering the OM-D E-M1, Olympus has followed in the hallowed footsteps of the E-M5 and taken the quality yet a step further.
