We don't know what struck us more from this Japan Real Time report: the fact that Sony has decided to kill the Sony MiniDisc Walkman or the fact that the Sony MiniDisc Walkman was still alive?

"The MD Walkman, a 1990s successor to the cassette version, is about to disappear from store shelves, in yet another reminder of the digital-music revolution that has made the MP3 - and the iPod - king," says Juro Osawa of Wall Street Journal's Japan Real Time.
