Dongguk University (Korea) finally sued the world-renowned Yale University, over the Shin-Jung-Ah Scandal. (She faked her academic records, by saying that she graduated from Yale University) Shin, who was a art curator at Dongguk University, was fired due to the scandal. When Dongguk first tryied to hire her, they requested the ‘confirmation of academic records’ to Yale University. Initially, Yale said that Shin’s academic records was correct, adding that she indeed graduated from Yale university. However, they later said that Shin’s record of graduation does not exist, which is quite contrary with the first statement. Due to that, Korea’s Dongguk University’s fame got tarnished, and Dongguk University, has now sued Yale University, for a financial compensation.

iPod is the popular one… But what is the first MP3 player?

MP3 players, including Sony Ericcson’s Walkman, Apple’s iPod, and Samsung’s YP-P2 exist everywhere. But, have you wondered what the first MP3 player in the world is? Well, I have, and I quickly found out that Korea was the first nation to develop a MP3 player, 10 years ago.

10 years ago at CeBIT 1998, which was held at Hanover, Germany, many people gathered around the booth of Sae Han Information Technology Corporation, which is now defunct. The name of the model was MPman F10. This model hardly caused a ripple when it was first seen. Back then, nobody was quite sure what it was. “No matter how the Korean staff tried to explain what an MP3 player was, people didn’t understand why they needed such a device because they could listen to music with CDs or cassettes. A few people accepted the MP3 player as something cool, but most people didn’t take it seriously,” said an official at local tech company MPIXAR, and an old hand who was around MP3 players in their early days.

However, despite this, Sae Han Information Technology corporation put it up to mass production. Then, Samsung Electronics, which is known for its YEPP, PAVV, and ANYCALL brand, bought that MP3 players, and sold it under its name. Obviously, Samsung knew the potential of MP3 players. However, disappointingly, this failed.

Despite it’s disappointing debut, local electronics companies, such as Samsung, and Reigncom has developed a lot of MP3 players. A Korean MP3 player produced by Reigncom, was even called the future of digital life by Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, during his keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas in January 2005. But the iPod’s launch has made Korea companies sandwiched between cheap Chinese products and high-quality, low priced, iPods. Well, Korean companies should try hard to get out of that sandwich situation.

The only thing that I want to say is that please save our natin’s MP3 industry, by buying some products made by Korean Companies, such as Samsung, iRiver, and etc……. They are better than ipod, and they are cheaper than iPod. Why look for something just’TRENDY’, while there is something better, and cheaper?
