Sony DD portables genealogy

Thanks for the suggestion and sharing the Japanese brochures. I’m enjoying a short break and will update the overview with an additional column. That will also help keep some of the descriptions shorter.

 

Thanks for sharing ..Mister x ... you can see accessories that cannot be found

 

Interesting, I didn't know that the belt clip was a separately bought accessory for the DD as well. I thought it only came as a package with the WM-2, while the DDs have their cases with zippers.

And apparently it's for attaching on your arm as well...

 

Like attaching your iPhone Pro Max to your arm for a run. Better buy 2 for balance, or switch arms half way.

 

Thanks @mihokm and @Mister X for providing additional info.
Your updates have been included in the updated version in the first post.
I will look up more colors for the units that don’t have attributes in the respective column.
Feel free to provide these in a reply or private message, I will update the overview again this weekend.

Is there a tool or website to translate the Japanese scans to English? Or German or Dutch for that matter.

 

I tried the Google Translate app on my iPhone but the result is not great, hence my question. I might upgrade early to an iOS 15 pre-release since that seems to have built in translation capabilities.

 

@Emiel try Google Lens app , I don't know about iPhone but on my Samsung Galaxy works like a charm .

 

Not too bad indeed! For iPhone it is built into the Google app:

 

I updated the first post with the most overview. A more permanent location that this thread is preferred in the end, let me know what you think would work best.

Again on Sep 7: WM-DD22 DC jack is on bottom compared to predecessor. Latest overview in first post.

 

Wow! That's a pretty awesome overview spreadsheet. Sadly I have nothing to contribute but I did wonder that if the DD22 was the first walkman with AVLS then how did the DX100 have AVLS? Was it on later models or is this just a spreadsheet typo?

 

Great catch! There can be only one device to feature a functionality first, and indeed the DX100 is the first in this overview.
I have made a note to change this in the next update of the overview.
