Sony's iconic Walkman cassette playing device was released in 1979, and really revolutionized the idea of personal, portable music (about the same time that it was supposedly
killing music). Of course, these days, Apple and its iPod replaced the Walkman as the portable music player of choice, but apparently Sony kept on making cassette Walkmen... until now. It's
finally ending production of the cassette Walkmen. As some have noted, the announcement of the end of Walkman came just a day before
the anniversary of the introduction of the iPod.
