Sure, compact disc players aren’t as popular as they were a decade ago, but it’s always nice to look back and see how far technology has come. Today, we’re showcasing the Sony D-88 – released in 1998 – the world’s smallest portable CD player – a 3″ disc fits completely inside.
To play a standard 5″ CD, users had to flip back a blue bar into the lid for the disc to hang out on 2 sides before playing. There’s also a switch on the back to move its center drive wheel for switching between 3-5″ discs. We imagine this garnering the same attention in 1998 as the iPod did when it was first unveiled.
