Still available: the WM-FX290

Despite the fact that your average MP3 player is now the size of an earbud, Sony continues to make (and sell) cassette-based Walkmans to this day. This one (the WM-FX290) will set you back £31.99 on Amazon. Or £36.44 when purchased with a pack of 12 Duracell AA batteries… that's a lot of listening power.

And something which this kid - who said "it took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape" when he swapped his iPod for a Walkman earlier this week - is probably very secretly impressed with.
