A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer.

Use any USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod/MP3 player, etc. No additional hardware required. Just download the portable apps and install them on your portable device.

When you are on the move, just plug in your portable device and you will have access to your portable applications, running under your personalised settings. How cool is that?

Also Portable Apps is free. It can't get any better than this!!!
