Congratulations are in order. Why? Sony Walkman was launched 30 years ago this week (July 1, 1979). What better way to celebrate the 30th birthday of our old friend than to show it, and the many reinventions of it, off up until the masses succumbed to the current iPod fever.

    • My cousin had a MiniDisc Walkman and it confused me! We also had to use them at my school's radio station, it was pretty cool. I might dig my Walkman out and listen to some cassette tapes tomorrow. I have hundreds of mix-tapes in a shoebox under my bed - they were the best!

    • I never had an original walkman, but I did start off my music listening with a later revision of a cassette walkman. I wonder if these have any nostalgic value on eBay. =)
