Halo Zero

Halo Zero is a fan made game that could possibly be ported into a portable format. And i dont believe it would be illegal like actually porting Halo so it seems possible to me.

Portable Offline Internet Browser

Sounds strange doesn't it, hehe. Being a student who doesn't have internet at home, it would be extremely useful if there was a portable web browser (or plugin; to Firefox of course) that was able to save websites in a cache on your USB so you could browse the sites later.

I had this in mind because I have discussion boards for some of my online classes, but I often don't have time to read them until later at night when the school is closed.

Some suggested features:
** Downloaded sites have the exact same look 
   and functionality.

Essential PIM

I am looking for a portable apps "contact and appointment"-manager.
It should import contacts from MS-Outlook.

An U3-solutuion is "Essential PIM", but that's not a portable apps for an USB-thumb-drive.

Any ideas???

secure file delete

I looked through the forums and searched the site but could not find any obvious mention of a secure file delete portable app. If it hasn't already been requested or isn't currently in development I would like to formally request it. If it has been requested or is in development then I would like to voice my support for this effort.

I have been using Simple File Shredder by scar5 software on my USB flash drive but I am not married to it. I do not know if it is 100% portable but it works for my purposes.

SoftMaker - Word and Excel Compatible - Already Portable!

Submitted by mrsean2k on April 25, 2007 - 6:15am

Just to say that I'm a satisfied user of TextMaker (WP) and PlanMaker (Spreadsheet) from Softmaker.

These are non-free, but inexpensive (69 USD or 69 EUR for both apps on WIN32 AND Linux), and IMO excellent.

They are relatively small (about 35Mb for both), and already portable with a simple installation routine described here:

No financial link, just a satisfied user. Well worth paying for.
