"Everyone wants one. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, colors and
cases. Most let you listen to music, some allow you to watch video and a few
are even wireless. They're one of the most popular consumer electronics
products out there and a computer company named Apple is the current
industry leader. We are of course referring to the mighty digital audio or
MP3 player.
Since their introduction in the late '90s, digital audio players have become
one of the run away successes of portable electronics. 2003 sales figures,
according to the Consumer Electronics Association, were a staggering $556
million, which was a 171 percent increase over the previous year. More
importantly, the CEA projects this revenue will grow by another 27 percent
this year."
