I still have one of those cassette decks, and compared to that, the cartridge player is downright tiny. That said, while I think it a shame there was never(at least to my knowledge) a walkman-style cassette player capable of playing single tracks or adjusting playback speed, those yellow bricks are actually quite compact compared to most of the non-Walkman-style cassette players I remember from my childhood(Less awkward to lug around than even a mini boombox for sure), and while Wikipedia informs me Sony released the original Walkman in the late 70s, it was the mid-90s before I ever saw a pocket-sized media player of any kind, and while I'm not sure when the NLS Cassette deck first came out, I'd assume its older than me considering it features in some of my earliest memories(for reference, I was born in 1986).
