Albert Einstein opened the 7th Great German Radio and Phonograph Show, the forerunner to today's IFA, in Berlin in 1930. The show marked the public debut of a prototype 'television receiver.' Since then, some products, like the 3DTV, were ahead of their time. Others, like the MiniDisc...well, just never got off the ground. Here's a look at IFA's storied past.
