PortableApps Suite 1.0 (Windows)

Windows only: PortableApps Suite 1.0 stocks your USB drive, portable hard drive, or any other drive with a full complement of software, ready to run wherever you plug in.

This new version of the suite includes the latest portable versions of Firefox, GAIM, OpenOffice, and other open-source gems. The suite also comes with PortableApps Backup for--you guessed it--making backups. If you choose to use your iPod as your storage for PortableApps, make sure you have disc use enabled. You can do this by connecting your iPod to iTunes and then clicking on the iPod icon when you have it connected. There you will see a box that says 'Enable Disc Use'. Check the box and then all you need to do is install PortableApps DIRRECTLY to your iPod.

The Standard Edition of the suite requires about 260MB; there's also a 105MB Lite version that substitutes AbiWord for OpenOffice. Whichever version of this app-tacular bundle you download, you're going to love it. PortableApps Suite 1.0 is free; it requires Windows.
