I hit up the Seagate folks last night to get a quick demo of their portable FreeAgent Go drive. Sure, portable USB drives are a dime a dozen these days, so I wasn’t interested in the mundane specs; 160 GB, 5400 RPM, USB 2.0 if you are. No, I wanted a demo of the application that resides on the drive itself: similar to Mojopac, you can run many of your programs right on the drive if you connect it to a Windows PC. We spent about five minutes running in the environment housed on the drive and I found very little lag in the performance.
If you don’t want to carry a notebook with you, but want your environment available, this is a worth a look. It’s definitely small enough to carry in a gadget bag: see the comparison pic to my Q1P. Expect to pay around $140 if you search for it online.
