An article from Sony Insider covers the invention of the Sony Walkman and the start of the portable music revolution. The tale involves Sony co-founder Ibuka who regularly used the TC-D5 portable cassette player on business trips but found the device too heavy. After contacting the head of the tape division, Ohsone, requesting a play-only, stereo version of the TC-D5, the first step was set in creating what would become the Sony Walkman, which spawned a miriad of copycat devices and lead top the prtable MP3 players so popular today.
