Portable apps on Blackjack Phone?

I'm wondering if the Portable Apps can be installed on a Blackjack Phone with Internet access? If so- does anyone have any experience with the apps on this device?
Thanks,
Jerry

No

Like all Windows Mobile PDAs and Smartphones, it only *appears* to run windows. Windows Mobile is actually an entirely separate operating system, and one that Portable Apps are not at all designed to work with.

Actually, I'm not sure why this question keeps coming up. It's not exactly common to be borrowing someone else's PDA. PDAs don't have USB ports you can plug a flash drive into (though admittedly, they do have flash memory card slots, but that seems a less attractive storage place for your portable apps). In fact, most Windows Mobile Apps don't have an equivalent of registry entries, so they're basically all portable to an extent. So where's the need for Portable Apps? Just find an installed app to do the job. If you really have some need to carry the apps separate from the PDA, use an SD card.

In addition to what yehoni

In addition to what yehoni said, all PDA's (including Blackjacks) do not have enough RAM to run the apps (if that's what you meant). BUT, I'm sure that you can store your apps on it, as long as you don't run them on the PDA. That is, you can plug it in to your PC to run them.
