Retropod = iPod inside a Walkman body

John Young sends word of a retro-riffic iPod mod: "The Retropod is an iPod case made from a vintage Sports Walkman, from which the guts have been removed. Cases and do-it-yourself kits are available, for those Billyburg hipsters that want to make their own."
Link. A timely diversion, given the fact that today is the 25th anniversary of Sony's 1979 release of the first Walkman: Link. (Thanks, L. Smith!)

Update: Boing Boing reader Brian Hewitt says, "Sony unveiled a totally new Digital Player today that's supposed to be better than iPod. Due for release by mid-August in the States."
