- I-Pod is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple and launched in 2001.
- The original Walkman was launched by Sony in Japan in 1979. A portable (and/or video player) introduced a radical change in music listening habits, allowing people to carry their own choice of music with them. Sony continues to use the "Walkman" brand name for most of their portable audio devices, after the "Discman" name for CD players was dropped in the late 1990s.
