In 1998, this tiny little device made its debut at CeBIT. The MPMan F10 was made by Saehan's Information Systems of Korea, and it changed the world as we know it.

The world's first MP3 Player eventually led to many such as the iPod and Zune, as well as the Napster controversy. The MP3 player has taken the world by storm, and even though a generation has grown up with them, they are only a decade old. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Back then, this first MP3 player cost a cool $250 for 32MB of flash memory. That would seem like a rip-off today.
