iPod vs. Sony Walkman (The Old School One)

Ready your time machine / nostalgic emotions. The BBC has published his week-long acocunt of using an old-school Sony Walkman. Scott Campbell, a British teenager, was given a classic (incredibly old) Sony Walkman to carry around in place of his iPod. During this experiment, he took 3 days to realize there were two sides to a cassette tape. Presumably after he figured that part out, he wrote a detailed review of the Walkman in comparison to his iPod.

The next step is to make Jonathan Ive use one of these, and monitor him to see if he has a seizure.
