Monday, July 1
Sony Corp.'s first Walkman is shown at a special display commemorating the Walkman's 30th anniversary at the Sony Archive building in Tokyo, Japan in July 2009. The Walkman, the Sony cassette device that forever changed music listening before becoming outdated by digital MP3 players and iPods, has died. It was 31 years old. Sony announced Monday that it had ceased production of the cassette tape Walkman in Japan, effectively sounding the death knell of   the once iconic, now obsolete device.
