Bmorn BM889 Picture review

Bmorn BM889 Picture review

bm889_1


I finally found a few extra minutes to snap some pictures of this nice new player. The BM889 operates on the RK2808 processor, but it uses a much nicer UI than what has been previously used on similar players. The rich ui allows for more user interaction, a more pleasant and functional user interface.


bm889_5


There really is only one down side to this and that is the touch screen, although kinetic/dynamic scrolling has been implemented, you will need to use either a stylus or the tip of your finger to do this. I don’t think this is hardly something that should turn buyers away, but it is something that buyers should know.
