You can carry portable apps in any optical media or USB Flash drives. Currently the trend is to carry portable apps on USB Flash drives.
According to Wikipedia
A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is a computer software program designed to run independently from an operating system. This type of application is stored on a removable storage device such as a CD, USB flash drive, flash card, or floppy disk – storing its program files, configuration information and data on the storage medium alone.
