Sony stops making Walkmans
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 25 October 2010
You might be surprised to hear Sony was still making cassette Walkmans, but they were. Until earlier this year. According to reports, Sony has confirmed it stopped shipping the portable cassette players in April and once the last batch have been sold no more will ever be made available.
I’m not sure in which territories the old-style music players were still being sold, possibly Japan. But if you want one for old time’s sake, you better get out and there and find one quick, because very soon there will be no more on offer. Though I think there’s one in a large red box of junk in my mum and dad’s garage if you’re really desperate.
