Ten years old: the world’s first MP3 player
The MP3 player is ten years old this month. The first commercially released personal music player capable of handling MP3 files was the MPMan F10, manufactured by Korea’s Saehan Information Systems and launched in March 1998.
The F10 contained 32MB of Flash storage, enough for a handful of songs encoded at 128Kb/s. It measured 91 x 70 x 165.5mm. It connected to an old-style parallel port on the host PC from which songs could be copied to the player.

BMW outsourcing production to U.S. to cut costs
The luxury carmaker BMW has announced it will invest $750m (£373m) as part of plans to increase production in the US.
The investment at the Spartanburg plant, South Carolina, is aimed at increasing capacity from 160,000 to 240,000 units by 2012.
The move is set to create 500 new jobs and comes after the firm recently said it would cut 7.5% of its German workforce in 2008.
The firm is facing both rising costs in Europe as well as slowing US demand.
Since last September, the dollar has tumbled against the euro, hurting firms that pay their costs in euros but receive payment in dollars.
The euro touched an all-time high of $1.546 last week after punching through the $1.50 level at the end of February.
