As my friend Arun was talking about it at BCB3 so i though of writing about it..
So what is a portable App by the way?
A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.
No Special Hardware and No Additional Software is required.
It gives you the following freedom/possibilities to carry...
> your web browser with all your favorite bookmarks
> your calendar with all your appointments
> your email client with all your contacts and settings
> your instant messenger and your buddy list
> your whole office suite along with your documents and presentations
> your antivirus program and other computer utilities
> all your important passwords and account information securely
It has a set of apps, plug-ins and your own personal settings. Use it across a huge section of windows emulations. The apps are portable.
> No formal installation required.
> Use the PC for just the computing power.
> Can be stored in a removable device.
There is a dedicated project going on at SourceForge for Portable Applications…
Performance will not be that good as it’s working off a USB drive. But accessibility of data ANYWHERE is the real beauty…
