Remember those times when Walkman was everything to us? Running to the cassette stores and getting a set of latest movies songs? Or getting a specially recorded cassette made with our customised mix?

Well, keeping the technology in mind, they have launched it with a twist. The Walkman doesn't play cassettes but has special cassette tape user interface and screensaver which makes you feel it can.
