Pez to dispense MP3s instead of candy
ZDNet
Rap impresario 50 Cent may be riding atop the Billboard charts on the strength
of his hit single "Candy Shop," but music lovers of all kinds will soon be able
to mix their passions for beats and sweets if one gadget maker's plans come to
fruition.
That's right, the candy market's best-known handheld device, the iconic Pez
dispenser, is about to go digital. Under a recently granted licensing agreement
with Pez Candy, a gadget design company Lincoln West Studios will soon begin
selling MP3 players modeled after the big-headed plastic treat sleeves.
Based on Lincoln West's plans, which were first detailed Thursday in a blog
posted to the company's Web site, the Pez MP3 will arrive sometime this summer.
The gadget will be built around a Samsung chip and will have 512MB capacity, as
well as an LCD screen. The device will look exactly like a traditional Pez
dispenser from at least two sides and will come in a variety of colors, said
Patrick Misterovich, president of the Springfield, Mo., design company.
