In this age of I-Pods,BlueTooths, and cell phones with music, does anyone recall what came out in July, 1979?

What new product hit the market for the first time in July, 1979?

Update:

tenstrike -- you got it first. Thanks all, I guess I'm not as old as I feel if so many of you remember the humble walkman ...

Update 2:

Helixburger, too late. Um, did you have a 45rpm record player in your car?

Maybe a 4-track?

    The Walkman, I believe!

    I remember my first transistor radio, a little squawk box that I saved months for, and was inseparable from!

    Oops, I'll tuck my age back in...
