APPLICATION PORTABILITY VIA APPLICATION(S) INSTALLED ON A PORTABLE STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable software application(s) to be installed onto a portable storage device and executed by a first computing device coupled to the portable storage device without having to install the application(s) onto the first computing device. While the application(s) are being executed, state information associated with the application(s) may be maintained and also stored on the portable storage device. When the portable storage device is de-coupled from the first computing device and coupled to a second computing device, the application(s) installed on the portable storage device may continue execution from the point where the user stopped using the application(s) on the first computing device without having to install the applications(s) on the second computing device.
