SnapFiles has a list of portable applications they consider handy to have. Here’s a few that I’ve used and like:

Greatnews– an RSS reader. Foxit PDF Reader– a free PDF reader (though most machines now have Adobe Reader). TreePad Lite– a personal database/PIM application. There are plenty more I haven’t used, but that sounded intriguing. For instance, YamiPod, an iPod manager that handles .aac and .mp3 files without having to install iTunes. That could be very useful, especially to those folks who are using more than one OS in any given day, or when you’re traveling and want to load up your iPod at a relative’s house.
