We all said goodbye to Sony's cassette Walkmans last year, and it looks like we'll be saying farewell to another legacy format later this year. It has been reported by The Nikkei, a Japanese business daily, that Sony plans to pull the plug on the MiniDisc Walkman. It's been about 19 years since the introduction of the first MiniDisc Walkman in 1992, and while it didn't take over the music scene like the first Walkman or Discman did, it was pretty successful in Japan. However in this day and age, nobody seems to be using those kinds of players anymore.
Ubergizmo, Sony to kill off the MiniDisc Walkman in September
