    Portable Apps, The Premier Operating System And A Better Start On The Web

    PortableApps delivers a free bundle of computing goodies that can be loaded onto any device—thumb drive, hard drive, iPod, whatever! Plug your drive into any computer and you’ll be rocking a fully customized PC experience—from your personal Firefox bookmarks, to your Thunderbird email, to IM contacts, to OpenOffice documents; plus, you get portable antivirus and backup programs. All apps run from within the secure and anonymous confines of your PortableApps environment—unplug the drive and remove any trace of your activities.
    Portable Apps are mainstream open source or freeware Windows applications that have been repackaged to be portable. By portable, I mean the application's code and data storage requirements have been restructured to make it possible to execute them from a portable media source - a USB key or similar device - with little or no footprint on the hosting PC.
    This is also exciting because of the technology has the potential to evolve beyond just altering applications for portable device deployments. The truth is that the Portable Apps model could be applied to any scenario that requires a minimal footprint deployment with isolation of application code and data. In this context, Portable Apps becomes the equivalent of an open source install. If you're currently considering an application virtualization solution you should take a quick look PortableApps.com. Download the free Portable Apps Suite demo package. It may be all the application isolation you need.
    Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind. PortableApps.com provides a truly open platform that works with any hardware you like (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc). It's open source built around an open format that any hardware vendor or software developer can use. The Portable Apps Suite™ is free. It contains no spyware. There are no advertisements. It isn't a limited or trial version. There is no additional hardware or software to buy. You don't even have to give out your email address. It's 100% free to use, free to copy and free to share.

    What is a portable app?

    portable - carried or moved with ease
    app - a computer program like a web browser or word     processor

    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 - Use any USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod/MP3 player, etc

    No Additional Software - Just download the portable app, extract it and go

    No Kidding - It's that easy

    Consider the Possibilities...

    • Carry your web browser with all your favorite bookmarks
    • Carry your calendar with all your appointments
    • Carry your email client with all your contacts and settings
    • Carry your instant messenger and your buddy list
    • Carry your whole office suite along with your documents and presentations
    • Carry your antivirus program and other computer utilities
    • Carry all your important passwords and account information securely

    Consider the Convenience...

    • Have your favorite websites handy to recommend to a friend or colleague
    • Have your presentation AND the required software ready to go for that big meeting
    • Have your password with you if you want to bank online while traveling
    • Have utilities handy when visiting family or friends that are having PC problems
