I just did a search on sf.net for "portable" and our main page came up on page 3 after things like GAIM portable and other old projects now merged into the one.
Is there anything one can do about that becaue I think it sucks.

Pocket PC Compatability

Hi, first time poster, however I'm a pretty long time user of portableapps. I was wondering if the apps can be executed from an SDHC card on a PDA, such as the iPaq 3835 which I own. I believe it is a windows based os, but still who knows if it'd work. I'd like to get some firefox/thunderbird running on it, and for my portable devices this has always been my first place to look. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Which is better FAT32 or NTFS

(I know there are many discussions about this)

I read an old guide on how to convert FAT or FAT32 into NTFS. (http://www.computerfreetips.com/System_Tune-Up/convert_fat_ntfs.html)

Now what I'm afraid is that it is written there

"Now restart your computer and enjoy NTFS features, but keep in mind you cannot covert back it to FAT or FAT32 again."

So is it true?

And before i convert my Flash Drive into NTFS what are the real advantages of NTFS over FAT/FAT32? We have very many FAT32 flash drives that went corrupt because we forgot to use the safely remove.
