Ablaka writes – “There has been quite a bit of buzz recently surrounding so-called “portable apps”. Portable storage devices such as USB flash sticks (and to a lesser extend, micro HD drives) are dropping rapidly in price/GB, so why just store stuff on them? There’s even an industry consortium to promote a standard to facilitate running apps off portable storage devices. Turns out, you don’t actually need a “U3 smart drive” to do this.
