Apple designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, tablets, personal computers, as well as portable and wearable devices. The company also offers software and related services, accessories, and third-party digital content and applications. The PowerCD was the first stand-alone consumer device the company had ever shipped, as it did not require a computer for it to operate. Basically a re-branded Phillips player, the upright optical disc drive could be used with a computer as an external drive via SCSI. It came with a remote, and the whole thing could run on AA batteries for portability.
