No, not a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone – an original Sony Walkman. BBC News Online got 13-year-old Brit Scott Campbell to swap his iPod touch for a Walkman, and the write-up is marvellous. Sample quotes: “He had told me it was big, but I hadn’t realised he meant THAT big… As I boarded the school bus, where I live in Aberdeenshire, I was greeted with laughter… It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape… I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down ”rewind” and releasing it randomly.”
