CNET Editors' Take

You'll find sweet tunes--dispensable bite-size candy--inside the Pez MP3 Player.

Review: We've seen MP3 players in the shape of teddy bears, wristwatches, sunglasses, jelly beans...so why not as a Pez character? This first-edition Pal Boy is a tribute to the original figure, which was introduced in the 1960s. The Pez MP3 Player is one of 5,000 units made by entrepreneur Pat Misterovich, who has his fingers crossed that his first batch will be a success. If that's the case, he promises to follow up with a second-edition line of characters. Could we see Batman or Homer Simpson Pez players in the near future?

Upside: Replacing the half-century-old ... Expand full review

We've seen MP3 players in the shape of teddy bears, wristwatches, sunglasses, jelly beans...so why not as a Pez character?

Upside: Replacing the half-century-old candy-dispenser functionality are digital music parts, including 512MB of storage, which equals about 120 songs encoded at 128Kbps. Surprisingly, this flash player conforms to the compatibility found on other players in its class; it plays MP3, as well as secure and subscription WMA, music files. This is impressive because there are still some bigwig manufacturers out there that don't offer subscription compatibility yet.

The Pez MP3 Player is plug-and-play ready with USB 2.0, and you can drag and drop music files from your computer's OS; no software is required. Another bonus is that it comes preloaded with a dozen tracks from various artists. These are indie artists you've probably never heard of, but it's still a nice touch.

"Nice idea, but missing candy!" By ryuko098

Pros: This is an awesome idea! Cute. And it looks like it's got decent features.

Cons: No candy? ***?! ; No screen; A little on the expensive side, given it's features

Summary: I think this is a cute idea. It sounds like a great mp3 player for kids and PEZ collectors. But I also think the guy could've gone a little further. I know everyone jokes about this, but seriously -- if it actually dispensed candy *AND* played music, that would ... Expand full review
