Converting Ordinary FlashDrive into Smart Drive !!

Flash Drives / Pen Drives / USB Drives , are quite common in use today for easy transferring data to any place ... they gives us access to out files any time , any where ... right ?? During recent time , some smart guys have designed " Smart Drives " which not only carries data but it also carries bunch of software within that USB drive ... imagine that you are forced to work on some junk computer that even don't have required software for your work , or your favorite browser application or any AV installed !!! or just for sake of security you don't want to use browser of that unknown computer ... in this case these Smart Drives becomes very handy ,right ?? most of them use " U3 technology " .... hell, now a days even smarter drives are in market which uses "biometric ID system" , means you need to scan you finger before you access them !!! ( you can assume that in near future, they are gonna introduce face recognition technology in these drives too !!! )

But still these "smart drivers" are bit costlier then ordinary usb drives ... and perhaps it is the only drawback of them ... now you will ask me , " Why ordinary USB can't be U3 smart drive ? " right ?? ... answer is , U3 smart drives are smart because of embedded hardware chip like of CMOS , which ordinary usb drives doesn't have ...





Well, some good guys ( who believes in free software distribution systems ) developed one software, Portable Apps ,which basically can install applications to even ordinary usb drives and make them works same as smart drive ( ahh , please skip that biomatric part ... ) ... this software comes with plenty of useful stuffs like , open office, firefox , thunder bird, pidgin , an antivirus .... in short all opensource and free applications ( and that makes this application free !! )

Give it a try , i am sure you will not be disappointed ...

Njoy ...
