Sony's Walkman, the first truly affordable portable music player, turns 40
Sony offers the MZ-R90 - the world's smallest and lightest Recording MD Walkman that combines superb sound reproduction quality of digital technology with the ease and convenience of MiniDisc recording, in a unit less than an inch thick and virtually as small as a MiniDisc itself. The MZ-R90 is rugged, durable, and ultra light and is designed for your carrying convenience. This MD Walkman provides world's longest playback and recording time of up to 14.5 hours record and 29 hours playback.
