R.I.P. Sony Walkman

  filed in:


...which, as you know, is the much older Jewish brother of the Apple iPod.
After selling more than 200,020,000 units, Sony is finally pulling the plug on the cassette-based Walkman. Personally, I was surprised to find that they were still being made.

Note: To put that sales number into context, Apple has sold some 260,000,000 iPods worldwide.
I think that I still have a cassette version of the Walkman somewhere -- though admittedly it is very likely a knock-off (not the Sony brand).

However, I do currently use a Sony Walkman mp3 player, so I haven't missed a beat. Yet.
