Looks like the Oracom UB890 portable media player is already in the stables - what we need now is an official release date to unleash this beast to the market. The UB890 supports the most common audio and video formats including MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, MPEG, AVI, MWV, and ASDF. It is a flash-based player and comes in capacities of 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB. It is highly recommended to purchase the 4GB version as that is the standard these days, and less memory won't get you very far. With an 8 hour battery life for video playback, the UB890 is shaping up to be a serious choice for the casual user. More specs after the jump.
