IIRC, Mr. Redenbacher's firm was one of the last to produce microwave popcorn. He refused to allow it until a bag could be produced that met his criteria.
Nonetheless, all microwave popcorn tastes like salted styrofoam when compared to the real thing.
The device side comes with a table top base and power adapter. The implication is (though I can't find them directly saying it) that it will power at least some devices. They do explicitly say on one of the spec sheets that it will not work with devices requiring isochronous support, such webcams and speakers.
Thanks for the info.
