As if watching movies on 3″ screens weren’t small enough, Korean manufacturer Ocacom saw it fit to make a mini PMP called the UB-870 with a 2″ screen. It supports most DRM free codecs except quicktime .mov files. They’re were also nice enough to integrate music playback incase your eyes ever get tired from squinting. The non replaceable rechargeable battery lasts 12 hours for music, 5 hours for video regardless of memory capacity; 1, 2 and 4GB. There’s even generic Tetris built-in and once you get bored with that, you can sync up more music and videos via USB 2.0.

It looks pretty slick sporting all the typical accoutrements of today’s portable media players; shiny, rounded edges, metal accents, but throws in a bit of nostalgia by placing all controls along the sides. The size of the buttons along with the unit’s form factor sorta looks cassette player’ish. Dare I say, almost Walkman’ish? Not anything spectacular and no pricing yet so I think the other Korean PMP player is much better.
