What do you get when you cross an iPod with a walkman?

A retropod of course! Although the men in suits at Sony are not impressed...

....Consumers likely will be misled and deceived into believing that Sony is somehow connected with the iPod personal stereo when in fact it is not. Moreover, they will be misled into thinking that Sony is backward in its design of products and is going away from miniaturization, as the size of the tape player housing is quite large by today's standards....
