MP3 Player's Turn 10

It has been almost a decade since the first mass market digital audio (MP3) player came to the market ("MPMan" from SaeHan Information Systems)…. And boy have they come along way since. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3_player.

• Size - Ultra Compact MP3 players have shrunk from the size of a deck of cards to the size of the tip of your finger.

• Storage - From the original 16MB of flash memory to 32 GB of flash memory. Even larger hard drive players are capable of storing 250GB of music and video. That's 20,000 times more storage folks!

• Expandable Memory - If 20,000 times more storage is not enough for you, MP3 Players like the Sansa Fuze offer expandable memory. This memory also works in cameras, phones and other electronic accessories.

• Style - Brightly lit LCD screens offer better visibility and the ability to play video and view photos which was not present in the first models back in 1998.

• Additional Functionality - Today's MP3 players play more than just music. They can store photos, play videos, come with FM Tuners and some even have built in voice Recorders.

What will the next 10 years bring to the MP3 World? More storage, embedded players, voice activation? Chime in with your thoughts and comments on what's coming next or what you would like to see in the next 10 years.
