Yeah, we've never heard of them either, but apparently Oracom has a successor to their UB-880 DAP of yore. This new UB-890 is quite the looker, and manages a good bit of color screen for a player this size. It looks about twice as thick as a nano, but beyond that we're really at a loss for tech specs. Just suffice it to know that wherever you are, it will never come to your country, and it will never support your codecs, and it probably smells funny. Feel better now? No? Well, its predecessor, the UB-880, was a flash based number with fairly decent codec support, capacities ranging from 512MB-2GB, video support, FM and voice recording and 16 hours of battery. So along those lines, the UB-890 will probably hit 4GB and hold onto the rest. No word on price or availability, but that probably won't matter unless you're living in Korea.

awesome
awesome, what exactly is awesome, the fact that there is 4 or 5 of these sort of things on here every week and then they are discontinued as suddenly as they appear.

The Oracom UB-890 DAP. It?s built like a steak house, but it handles like a bistro. Charming on the outside, sexy on the inside. Drool over this handsome multi functional player. Fantasize on how better your life would be if you had one. Visualize how other humans will envy your high-class, high-priced, appealing life style. All the good times that will come, all the people you shall impress.
?and how you will never obtain one.
But don?t worry, there are suicide pills on the exit.
Thank you for coming,

Oracom actualy had a few players that were available on a few of the major UK gadget stores about 2years back. My friend had a 256mb version of one, and it was pretty high quality, with a bunch of cool features at the time.
wow it has a shiny back like the ipod
Good luck Oracom! By the looks of this, people are just going to look over this one. But props for trying!
FWIW - When I lived in Taiwan, they sold the Oracom brand. I have one of their 128MB MP3 players that records voice, plays MP3s and displays a logo. Works fine, nothing too special. It's a Korean brand but sold in the US under a different brand. I want to say I saw the Oracom brand in the US sold as a "US Logic" or "Oregon Scientific" brand.
No comments.everything is good
Why does Engadget even report on these things if 99.9% of readers can't even purchase them? It makes no sense.
The Oracom UB-890 is coming to the US! Email
