So Pat Misterovich, a stay-at-home dad, thought it’d be a good idea to be making and selling a PEZ MP3 player. He asked the PEZ people nicely, and, well, they said go ahead! Lotsa sweat and headaches, some lost sleep and a bank loan later, the PEZ MP3 comes alive.
Spec-wise, it’s ok: 512 mb (holds around 120 songs), USB 2.0, plays MP3, WMA, WMA w/DRM, uses 1AAA battery and comes pre-loaded with a collection of Indie music. You can also use it as a USB drive and it comes with earbud headphones and USB cable. It’s a limited run 1st edition and the thing costs $100. You can get that price down to $86 if you buy 10 to 12 units.
So, guys… this dude looks like he’s worked real hard at this. Might not be the most droolworthy player out there, but damn, it’s a PEZ MP3 player fer crying out loud! There’s gotta be some people who got some lovin for PEZ…
Nice! I love that. But do they still sell Pez candy or are these just retro-nostalgia type of designs?

Ken je het nog, het ingenieuze PEZ snoepjessysteem? Vergane tijden herleven met deze PEZ MP3 speler! Brave huisvader Pat Misterovich kwam met het idee en PEZ ging akkoord. Het resultaat is deze 512MB, USB2.0 MP3 speler met een bescheiden prijs…
The guy who made that had a website up for over a year with the progress of his project- pretty cool stuff.

[…] And yes, it’s up for purchase, at something like $130. Kind of reminds me of the PEZ MP3 player. […]
