An astute observation by John Ousby has left plenty of people scratching their heads. Ousby has spotted the uncanny resemblance between the now defunct iPod Mini, and a transistor radio that made its debut over 50 years ago. The Regency TR-1 transistor radio hit the market in 1954, and was the first commercially sold transistor product aimed at the consumer market, according to Steve Reyer. Not only was it small and convenient, but it was also stylish, featuring colorful case options, and a bold circular dial. It came in blue, green, lavender, black, white, and a light red. Regency marketed it with the slogan, "See it! Hear it! Get it!"
