General Discussion

I'm a long time PortableApps user and a recent iPhone user. (The iPhone is jailbroken, in case that is relevant.)

I realize that you cannot run PortableApps on an iPhone - that is clear.

However, I'm wondering if I install one of the many file storage iPhone Apps (Air Sharing is one that comes to mind), and then store various PortableApps on the iPhone in that manner, can I then run the PortableApps off the iPhone from a PC, via either wifi or a USB connection?

Ok, I am new to the whole USB flash drive thing, but needed a good one to transport and store files for back up, so a friend of mine recommended a Verbatim Store N Go 4gb drive, as he said he has had his for 3 years, and no problems, plus he likes the limited lifetime warranty. Anyhow, I bought one, and have used about 1gb alone worth of apps. I write to the drive maybe a few times a week, but I mostly just use it for the apps, as read only.

I've just found out from a reply to a post I made to the "Request apps" forumn here that the apps listed on the navigation bar on the left here aren't everything portableapps can offer!!!

ISTM this is both fantastic and at the same time absolutely crazy!

Surely there must be some big directory of portableapps software somewhere?! A mention in a beta forumn doesn't really help at all as most users want software which "just works" - not a test version.

Watching CCALIVE and you just hit the mark on "Most Likely to Change the Way You Do Everything". I've been using your apps for more than two years and let me tell you that this winning is just well deserved. Keep the hard work guys.

I've just one little question.
Maybe it would be possible to answer it myself by browsing the site or building myself but its easier and more convenient like this.
So, why is the AppLauncher necessary?
Well, I use the Apps as an alternative to systemwide installations and it just crossed my mind whether or not the launcher is really necessary. If it is why and what does it?

Is there an easy way to download all of the applications at once? Maybe a zip file that contains all the applications or something like that. I would really like to just download all of the applicaitons at once instead of going from page to page to page for each application. It seems like it would be a good way to easily download and play with the applications and test them out at the same time saving me a lot of download time as well.

Is there any chance of adding the date of last update for each application listed on the Applications webpage on the web site?

I just discovered Orca Browser http://www.orcabrowser.com/

Hello,

I downloaded Portable App Creator 0·97·2 beta and tried to make a portable app using it. The PAC Compiler.exe downloads the files missing and after that i click on the created Portable App Creator.exe, but nothing happens. Can you please help me with this? I am using winxp sp2 pro.

Thanks in advance!
