A 'transistor sister' knows this one. In 1948, Bell Laboratories, headquartered in Murray Hill, NJ USA, was issued a patent for the first solid state amplifier and demonstrated a prototype transistor radio at a news conference. TexasInstruments of Dallas, TX USA and IndustrialDevelopment Engineering Associates of Indianapolis, IN USA, made the world's first commercially produced transistor radio in 1954. Most of the radios were actually manufactured in Japan; In 1955, TokyoTelecommunications introduced their own transistor radio, under the new brand name Sony, and grew from seven employees to approximately five hundred. Many other Japanese companies entered the market as well. Many people of the time thought of the transistor radio as a Japanese invention. Millions of pocket sized transistor radios were sold during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s until the boom box and cassette player became popular in the late 1970s.

Microgrooves Electronic, or Microgrooves-E for short, is the world's very first mobile phone music player software capable of storing and playing back pre-recorded music on a cellular phone like a portable MP3 player. Microgrooves-E was invented and given its name by prolific inventor Andre Gray who wrote the software using the C Programming language for his IBM Simon smartphone that was given to him as a Christmas gift in 1993 by his dear friend Manny Roth, the legendary former operator of the famed Cafe Wha? Club in New York City. Gray worked on Microgrooves-E from April through June of 1998 and introduced it to the public on Thursday, July 16th, 1998 at the Jupiter Communications Plug.In Digital Music Conference during his ten minute presentation. Microgrooves-E, which was capable of holding up to one hundred songs in the MIDI format only, included four basic features: Artists, Albums, Singles, and Playlists. Microgrooves-E served as the basic templet and inspiration, either directly or indirectly, for all future mobile phone music players. Today, every single mobile phone in the world comes with a pre-installed music player.
