THE 'POD'S PROUD PAPA - WALKMAN RANKS #1 IN GADGETS

Long before the iPod, young hipsters danced along city streets grooving to tunes on their Sony Walkmans. The Walkman TPS-L2, first marketed in 1979, edges out its modern-day descendent, Apple's iPod, for top billing in a list of the 50 greatest gadgets for the past 50 years. The rankings, derived by PC World staff, are on the magazine's Web site at pcworld.com.
