The first ever mp3 player that was made portable is The Listen Up. Announced in 1996 by CEO Nathan Schulof. Even though not much is known about this portable gadged, an eBay listing from October 2009 said only 25 were ever produced. If this is true this product must have not been a very popular gadget in its time. This gadget must have been targeted towards teens to adults.
The mp3 player only picked up radio stations and was not equiped for downloading music. As simple as the product was it just like a radio only protable. if i was in the postion of the CEO Nathan Schulof i would not have of given the okay to get these mp3's produced and shipped out.
In 2001 Steve Jobs introduced the new toy of music, the Apple ipod. This gadget was enhanced mith many features from telling time to showing the battery life of the ipod. This ipod was marketed towards children, early teens to aduls. It had a colored screen and games. With music and games to pass the time who would not have one of these. The first make of an ipod was not better compared to what we have now. The newer modles of the ipod have built in speakers so you can listen to them without earphones. They also have the ability to download movies, photos and even make a slide show.
This invention lead to millions of dollars in sells and still increasing in the modern day ipod invented by apple.
