a portable HD with mobile launchpad and portable apps?

Hi -

I am new to using portable apps.

1. If I purchase a portable HD with something called 'mobile launchpad', can I guess I do not need the menu system available on this site.

2. Would I be able to delete the 'mobile launchpad' and start with the portable apps mens - maybe I reformat the HD?

3. I am basically trying to figure out whether I would be boxing myself in my buying a storage device which had its own app menuing system? or do most people buy empty devices that they configure themselves?

Thanks

It would be nice

if you'd tell us which drive it is...;-)

If you are talking about the

If you are talking about the Verbatim Store 'n' Go drives with "Mobile LaunchPad", it is Ceedo same as Lexar's "PowerToGo".
I don't think you can add PortableApps Apps to the Ceedo menu without purchasing an addon from Ceedo to allow you to add "non-ceedo" programs.
You can delete the "Mobile Launchpad" and use PortableApps instead.
I believe you can run them side by side as well, but may be issues there.

On a side note, if it is the Verbatim Store n Go your looking at, I would look at the Corsair Flash Voyager on NewEgg.
The Verbatim Store n Go is a 1" harddrive and very slow compared to current flash drives. The flash Voyager is better priced and faster at least from what I found doing a quick search.
Store n Go 12GB 160.00
Flash Voyager 16GB 140.00
