Sony Walkman vs Apple iPod
Sony slapped its Walkman brand on hard drive-based music players back in 2004, 25 years after it introduced the brand on mobile cassette tape players and four years after Apple launched the original iPod. But Sony's initial ATRAC3 music conversion requirements, poor software companions and clunky navigation failed to propel the updated Walkman to the top of the music player food chain, where the iPod still resides. Perhaps future Walkman efforts will follow Zune's example, and concentrate on software for phones and consoles.
