A few years back Bill Gates held up an MP3 layer (presumably an iPod) and told the audience at CES that he was the only person in the room wealthy enough to load it up to it's maximum capacity.
The hard drive on the model he presented could hold $10,000 worth of legally downloaded music.
How many lawns have to be mowed for a teenager to burn through ten grand?
Gates was pushing the concept of a subscription service that allowed players to operate with the Microsoft Plays for Sure system.
The alternative to a subscription was bigger and bigger hard drives on iPods that eventually played full length movies. Guess who won?
We developed a headphone a few years later that had an MP3 player built right in: The Koss Tugo. Since it was on your head and did not have wires to a hand held display, we limited the memory to 512K. This meant your musical choice on the Tugo would to be limited to about 11 CD's....more than enough for a flight or a quick trip away from home. (In fact it gets tough to skip through and find a favorite song if you load up too much music!)
Trainer BJ Gaddour instantly fell in love with The Koss Tugo as the perfect workout solution! No wires, nothing to strap on, just press play and burn fat with the Work Out Muse program he developed.
Our Headphone with a built in MP3 Player turned out to be a perfect product for a whole new use.
Know anyone who likes to workout?
