This mobile electronic device was originally marketed in the US as the “Soundabout”
The Sony Walkman. For some reason “Soundabout” did not grab the public like the name Walkman. Sony president, Akio Morita, hated the name, but let it alone after he was told that an ad campaign had already started and that it would be too expensive to switch names.
