The Walkman is 30 years old??

Wow!

In 1979, the Sony Walkman was born. It had a funny name, I always thought, but it changed the way we listen to music. I remember reading an interview with a rather famous musician who said he always listened to new versions of a song on his Walkman before approving the release, since so many people listened to music that way... it HAD to sound good on a Walkman.

It's hard to believe that Sony let the portable player market get away from them in the new era of the iPod. But, I'm hopeful that the new generation MP3 Walkman will fight back. I guess I'm just a Sony guy!
