Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Open Pandora

Program: Open Pandora

License: Open Source/GNU

Description: Quote from the site:
OpenPandora is an open source windows desktop application that exposes Pandora music discovery service

Website: http://openpandora.googlepages.com/home

Other: This is a great little program for using Pandora without having to open a browser. I've found that it creates temp files and doesn't delete them. Doing this would make it truly portable.

Portable Desktop?

Submitted by eddiefb3 on November 8, 2007 - 7:21pm

I've been using this site for a while now getting all these awesome apps. But have never posted before. I started thinking about this and wondered if it was possible, or if maybe there is already a way to do it.

Is their a way to take your desktop with you? Instead of using a menu that boots up when the USB drive is in a whole desktop. With your own background picture and icons on the desktop linking to the apps on the disk.

I think it'd be pretty cool to take my desktop to any computer and have it look as if it was mine.

Any ideas? comments?

Cant find anything regarding GPL so I am going to asume freeware. I know there is a 7-zip app ATM however this supports the standards in addition to 7-zip. Truth be told I like the front end to the portable apps I have gotten here... seems a GREAT deal more professional.

Tymer Portable (Rehearsal Timer Software)

Submitted by carloseton on November 5, 2007 - 2:22am

Tymer Portable is a freeware rehearsal timer application for performers, public speakers, or anyone that needs an event timer. Feel free to download it at [Link removed by moderator RM: See below for an explanation. Additionally, do not include the target attribute. It does nothing as it is automatically stripped. No divs either :P].

The program is very simple to use.

I wrote the application to know when to time comedy sets..

To install the portable version, just unzip the file into the PortableApps directory
