Portable Apps

..are design for use on a Windows computer. You could run the apps off of your Windows mobile device as a hard drive for your PC. You cannot run them on the Windows mobile device directly.

I think what your missing is

I think what your missing is that Windows Mobile is a completely different operating system than Windows XP,2000,ME,98 and not at all compatible with any of them.
Portable Apps are compatible with Windows XP,2000,ME,98 only.

Windows Mobile is *NOT* Windows

Windows Mobile is not Windows. You can't take Firefox for Windows and run it on Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile is an entirely different operating system. You're no more likely to get a regular Windows app to run on it than you are to get Safari for Mac OS X to run on it. It's like Palm OS.

Windows Mobile is purposely named like Windows to make people think that it has something in common with it when, in reality, it just uses some similar graphics and base libraries.

*Nothing* here will run on Windows Mobile. Nothing anywhere will run on Windows Mobile except software that is specifically designed to run on Windows Mobile.

I'm still amazed at how many people miss this.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
