Forget the Walkman! Sony's Revolutionary Radio

When it comes to historic Sony devices the Walkman gets all the attention, but the TR-55 has to be the most important device in the company’s history. It sparked a revolution in radio, and gave the company the financial clout to come up with Trinitron, the Walkman of course, the 3½” floppy, MiniDisc, the PlayStation, Blu-ray and Betamax. Some of them were of course more successful than others! So, just why was the TR-55 such a revolution?
