Sony Walkman cassette players ceases production

Another era behind.After more than 30 years after the first cassette player, Walkman, Sony announced that its production is stopped, and in the Japanese market in official sales will no longer be necessary.

The first cluster Sony Walkman TPS-L 2 was released in Japan on 1 July 1979. Over time, the players have been improved and amended.Since there are 400 million sold players more than half are cluster model. Latest shipment was delivered in April of this year, and now someone has bought the last Cassette Walkman.

On the other hand, the fact that Japan had ceased to produce and distribute a cassette player Walkman does not mean that you cannot buy at all.China continues to operate licensed production and markets for Chinese manufacturers in Asia and the Middle East.

Sony continues the production of other models Walkman: CD and MD-version will be the same as before.In April 2010 Sony ceased to produce floppy disks.

Japanese into mass production in 2013 ReRAM

The Japanese company sharp and Elpida Memory announced the joint development of next-generation memory chips.Technology ReRAM (resistive random access memory), in their view, would replace THE NAND already in 2013.

What should attract new users? First of all, the possibility of recording data speeds in 10 000 times (it's not a typo) than NAND.For illustration purposes, this means your movie in HD for a few seconds. Plus a substantial energy saving in standby mode (consumption is reduced to near zero).

Japanese press also announced that the two companies plan to join other players in the market.Mass production of chips for new technologies to power is planned for 2013 Elpida.
