I am sure, most or all of us has used a Classic Cassette Walkman (introduced by Sony) some years ago.
After 30 long years of the advent of Walkmans, Sony has halted the manufacture and distribution of this now-obsolete technology: the cassette Walkman, the first ever low-cost, portable music player.
The decline of the cassette Walkman is attributed primarily to the explosive popularity of CD players in the '90s.
This announcement was delivered just one day ahead of the iPod's ninth anniversary on October 23. 😎
