Lifehacker.com recently profiled the release of PortableApps Suite 1.0, a polished, light weight application that adds new functionality to USB keys, mp3 players, and external media by transforming these storage platforms into portable, private, personalized vehicles for launching programs and storing data. PAS achieves this by utilizing customized open source software packages accessible via an attractive integrated menu from which apps are launched and folders opened. As these programs are run off removable media, one need not worry about registry dependencies or leaving telling temporary files on the host machine. PortableApps Suite 1.0 comes in standard, lite, and base editions.
