CryptableApps is an attempt to overcome some of the shortcomings of the PortableApps platform.  While PortableApps generally kicks ass, there are two issues that people are always asking about on the forum:

Buy a Flash Drive with PAM already installed?

I bought a new flash drive recently (Corsair Flash Voyager GT) and when I plugged it in, I was surprised to see that it came with TrueCrypt.
Which is nice, I mean, but I wasn't expecting them to bundle freeware with their drives.

Maybe this could be an opportunity for John, having his PA Suite bundled with brand new flash drives. I'm sure there are some competitors of SanDisk who would appreciate having an alternative to U3 to put on their drives.
