iPod docks are a dime a dozen, and who better to buy one from than the original inventor of the Walkman? Sony has introduced a new compact Hi-Fi system that is compatible with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. You’ll be able to pop your iDevice into the dock to pump your tunes through the Magnetic Fluid speakers, but if you’re a retro kind of guy there’s a CD player lurking inside as well.

Sony Audio: Sony Kills The Cassette Walkman On The iPod's Birthday

After 30 years, Sony has announced that they will stop manufacturing and selling the venerable cassette Walkman. In a poetic twist, the official death of the Walkman lands on the iPod's 9th anniversary.*
The Sony Walkman was introduced on July 1, 1979 in Japan and it was a major breakthrough in delivering a low-cost portable stereo. It wasn't an overnight hit though, it was largely panned by the media and only sold 3,000 units by the end of July. But Sony kept on pushing, targeting the Walkman toward the younger market and advertising it with younger pop stars. By the end of August, sales increased 10-fold and later in the early 80's it became the must-have item for everyone. Over its 30 year history of the Cassette Walkman, Sony sold 200 million units. A portable music player became a part of our lives, largely because of the Walkman.

Sony Audio: Latest walkman from Sony is great for fitness fans

Sony has recently revealed a brand new style of Walkman music player. Worn like a neckband, it’s been specially designed for the fitness fans amongst us, so that when you’re working out, there are no cables for you to get wrapped up in! The player, which looks like a Bluetooth headset, is worn around the neck and weighs in at only 43g.
A fast charge feature will allow owners to give a three-minute (yep, 3 minutes!) of power which will allow a rather stunning 90 minutes of playback. If you’ve got more time on your hands though, Sony say that a full charge will give you around 11 hours worth of playback. More info after the jump.

Sony Audio: Sony iPod - What Happened To Walkman?

There is no doubt that iPod has really gone very successful in the portable media device arena. And what about the original and first creator of music portable device three decades ago? Did Sony lose the battle with Apple Corporation? Or did it struggle to at least win the competition? Well, Sony is still struggling to win the lead as the world's widely-used multimedia portable device. That's why there's what they call the "Sony iPod."
It may be a very embarrassing situation that a certain company's product name is replaced with its rival company's. To some, having the nickname "Sony iPod" may be a very disrespectful deed to the original portable music device player. But to some, it may be a struggling point.

Forget about Amazon UK's variable estimations, Sony's gone ahead and given us official Japanese release details for its OLED-equipped NWZ-X1000 series Walkman -- known there without the "Z" but with an one-seg TV tuner. Street date is April 25 and the open price is 40,000 yen (US $400) for the 16GB NWZ-X1050 and 50,000 yen for the 32GB NWZ-X1060. Both models will be available in black or red. No word yet on US or Europe date, but we can't imagine those will be far behind.
Several pictures of the New OLED walkman including pictures side by side vs the iTouch in the full article.
