Yes, 2008 marks the 10th birthday of the MP3 player, the device that has transformed the way we listen to music. When Saehan Information Systems unveiled its F10 at the Cebit consumer show in Hanover, few could have predicted its impact. The blocky gadget boasted a piffling 32MB of storage - enough for eight songs - and had to be hooked up to a computer via the serial port to load music at a tortuously slow speed. Saehan declared the format "audio for the new millennium" and boasted that its MPMan was "smaller than a floppy disk". It cost $250, and went on sale in Europe in the summer of that year.
