Packard Bell's PocketM@estro 5GB MP3 player

Packard Bell Pocket M@estro

With new iPod mini competitors popping up almost faster than we can write about them (GoVideo, Toshiba, Motorola, and Rio are all stepping up to the plate) we were just the tiniest bit surprised to see that Packard Bell, of all companies, is taking on Apple with the PokcetM@estro, a roughly credit card-sized 5GB MP3 player with an OLED screen and a built-in FM tuner. They're one those blast-from-the-past names that makes us think perhaps Wang, Tandy, or Digital are planning iPod competitors of their own.
