    A Chinese company will continue to produce a few models for the Walkman faithful, according to the New York Post. Sony has sold about 220 million Walkman devices since the gadget's explosive 1979 debut, but the portable cassette player has steadily yielded market share to portable CD players and then eventually MP3 players, symbolized by Apple's no-less-iconic iPod. (Sony will continue to make portable CD players.)

    79? fuck i feel old
    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

    In 1979 when Sony Walkmans first came out...you were a God if you had one. We would spend winters snow skiing in Mammoth and summers at Mission Beach. My older brother & sister had them. Essential for roller skating or snow skiing. I didn't get mine (hand me down) until about 1982. These were the days where everyone had a briefcase with cassette slots in it to carry the music collection in the car. Great times.
