El gigante de la electr�nica de consumo japon�s Sony ha confirmado que dejar� de vender sus reproductores Walkman en Jap�n, 31 a�os despu�s del lanzamiento del primer modelo de este dispositivo revolucionario.
Descrito por Sony "producto del siglo", el "Walkman", fabricado en China, sin embargo, se seguir� comercializando en el extranjero, seg�n dijo un portavoz del grupo.
Las ventas en Jap�n cesar�n cuando el stock se agote en los modelos ya entregados.
El 1 de julio de 1979, el buque insignia de la electr�nica japonesa transform� la vida de los japoneses, que comenzaron a guardar en el bolsillo una "caja" y a poner unos cascos en sus o�dos: el "Walkman" hab�a nacido.
Este d�a de verano estar� para siempre grabada en la antolog�a industrial del pa�s y en los anales de Sony. El grupo afirma haber vendido m�s de 220 millones de "Walkman" en el mundo en tres d�cadas.
Despu�s del TPS-L2, la referencia de su primer dispositivo, la marca "Walkman" se debilit� en una fila continua de reproductores de m�sica port�tiles. Sin embargo, todav�a perdura con los modelos num�ricos para Compact Disc (CD), Mini-Disc (MD), disco duro o memoria flash.
