Does the portable apps suite run via USB on new Nokia E90 smartphone?

Submitted by martinlandau on August 10, 2007 - 7:49am

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a new Nokia E90 but wanted to understand if the portable apps suite would be fully compatible / able to perform if used via USB and the mini_USB connector. The utility of the phone would be greatly enhanced if I could use the same suite between laptop & phone.

Does anyone have any personal experience in this area or know of any online data that may help?

Cheers.

Faulty downloads from mirrors

Submitted by neilav on August 10, 2007 - 2:43am

Topic intensions: Discuss why any downloads from mirrors may not work and how they can be fixed.
Say a download is the wrong size, did the problem occur when the file was uploaded or downloaded, does this happen when downloading from a specific mirror, how many times did you try to download the file etc.

So here it goes: Download PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe (89.5MB); attempts 3 with sizes 27, 42, 25MB; mirror Unknown (sorry), download manager firefox.

I’m going to try different mirrors.

When you're on the forums tracker, and you click on "new", it's supposed to send you to the FIRST new reply. Lately it's been taking me to the LAST reply. I have to scroll up to see any other "new" replies that someone has made. Is anybody else having this same issue?

VOB to x264 video encoder

Submitted by horrormaster34 on August 8, 2007 - 9:13pm

I need a new portable program to encode VOB (DVD files) to x264 files. I used to use MediaCoder, but now it isn't portable since you need a copy of Visual C++ installed otherwise you get an error when trying to start the program. I've tried SUPER, but it never loads when I try to start the program.

Licenses

Submitted by www.LukeFranklin.com on August 8, 2007 - 7:48pm

I am a VB.Net programmer and I have created a few programs that are available for download, I was wondering about licensing my software.

I want to know what license is best for me and how much it will cost(Hopefully nothing)

I want my software to be free for download but users must be unable to change and alter to software legally!

I also don't want to be liable for any damage caused by the program if that were to ever happen.

Question about Password protection, encryption and 7zip

Submitted by Aciago on August 8, 2007 - 5:52pm

I have a question to you programmers...

You know that encryption need access rights so it is not really portable...

But everybody is requesting to password protect info in Pdrives...

So, is it posible to have portableapps and documents folders in a password protected 7zip file and when launching the Pmenu ask for password automatically, open the 7zip run apps, etc, and when closing, save changes in the password protected 7zip, erase the opened one with a secure deleter automatically (and then eject the drive)?
