Photos: Rewinding 30 years of the Walkman
Jul 6, 2009
Sony ruled portable cassette players throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but with the onset of digital music and iPods, it lost its market hold. It still uses the name "Walkman" for its digital music players and continues to come out with different models with unique features.
Pictured here is Sony's newest touchscreen X-Series Walkman, complete with a wireless antenna for getting onto hot spots and free music with the Slacker app. This app let's you choose from genre- and decade-based stations in the Slacker rotation. So, for now, people can tune into 1980s hits and sing along with REO Speedwagon's Keep On Loving You.
