While the "normal" approach for portable apps is to load them on a USB flash drive or an external HDD, another really killer way to use them is to combine them with Microsoft's Live Mesh. You can create a shortcut to your Mesh apps on any PC you use. I personally get a lot of mileage out of a little portable notepad app that stays in a synced Mesh folder. No matter which computer I type a note up on, it'll be accessible from the rest (since the app saves the notes within its own folder).

I tried the previous version of this and think its pretty neat and could come in handy. One thing I didn't really like though and see no way around it, is that if someone has firewall software on their computer then every time you launch a internet connecting app, you will have to enable it on their firewall. Really don't like the idea of enabling something on someone's firewall software..Nothing particular to this I don't think, but it kind of changes the proposition that your not leaving anything behind on the person's system that you just used. Wish there was a way around that.
