The grand ol' man til din MP3 afspiller eller Ipod synger sin svane sang i dag. Efter 30år er det slut.
Ja den gode pålidelige walkman stoppes i produktionen.
After retiring the floppy disk in March, Sony has halted the manufacture and distribution of another now-obsolete technology: the cassette Walkman, the first low-cost, portable music player.
The final batch was shipped to Japanese retailers in April, according to IT Media. Once these units are sold, new cassette Walkmans will no longer be available through the manufacturer.
The first generation Walkman (which was called the Soundabout in the U.S., and the Stowaway in the UK) was released on July 1, 1979 in Japan.
Although it later became a huge success, it only sold 3,000 units in its first month. Sony managed to sell some 200 million iterations of the cassette Walkman over the product line's 30-year career.
Somewhat ironically, the announcement was delivered just one day ahead of the iPod's ninth anniversary on October 23, although the decline of the cassette Walkman is attributed primarily to the explosive popularity of CD players in the '90s, not the iPod.

den har også i den grad udtjent sin værnepligt
Synes lige at der stod noget helt andet i overskriften til at starte med 😛
Men ja, jeg troede egentlig længe det var forbi med walkmans..

Troede lige artiklen var om Gripen, for han er jo også 30 år iflg. hans egen profil. 😛
Ja vi viste jo at før eller senere vile det gå denne vej, hvor produktionen bliver stoppet.
Det så vi med VHS- og kassettebånd.

Tja men micro-kassetterne lever dog stadig i bedste velgående.

man savner virkelig at udrede båndspaghettien som skete med c64'eren... not.
Det er altså kun i Japan ^_^, de bliver ved med at producere og sælge i resten af verdenen.
