FEATURES
The WM-30 is the successor
of the revolutionary WM-10, an incredibly compact
walkman,
only a bit bigger than a cassette. Those years, as
competition was getting harder, SONY had to demonstrate
that they could go one step ahead with something
revolutionary: the world's smaller walkman.
CONTEXT
Walkmans were getting
cooler in those years, and everyone had bought
one. Also, some sports like footing become popular
and a small walkman to wear while doing footing
was a sucessful movement.
In that year,
AIWA had no such model to compete with
this. Their top- models were far more sophisticated
(with the extraordinary J08 in top of that) but
also bulkier.
