   • It was based on Sony's Pressman. Rather than come to Ibuka in a life-changing dream, the Walkman was a modified version of its Pressman mono tape recorder, which Sony had launched in 1978 and marketed to reporters for recording audio.
   • It wasn’t always called Walkman. It didn’t take long for the word "Walkman" to enter the Oxford English Dictionary (1986), but the player didn’t go from being called “stereo playback-only device” to “Walkman” overnight.
   • It actually made people walk more. One of Bill Bryson’s more amusing anecdotes from America (“not long after we moved here we had the people next door round for dinner and – I swear this is true – they drove”) would have been far less likely to occur in the decade of the Walkman.
   • There was a solar-powered Walkman. In 1983, Sony launched the WM-F107, a solar-powered FM/AM cassette player. No batteries necessary? Hmm, not quite. The player's radio could be appropriately powered by the solar panel, which covered nearly the entirety of the player's back, provided the sun had its hat firmly on, but for cassette listening the built-in rechargeable battery was required.

   • The arrival of the Walkman meant you no longer had to be at home or in the car to listen to music that wasn’t chosen by a radio DJ – now you could do it on the move.
