Transform your mobile device into a portable computer

On thinking about it, this is so simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it first. Then again, I can be kind of old school. The Smart PDA has an article on turning your smartphone or PDA into a ‘portable computer’. What the author means is using your smartphone or PDA much like some people use flash drives — those that store mobile versions of most-used applications, allowing the user to work on documents at any desktop or laptop, completely eliminating the need to synchronise multiple document versions.

What you’ll need is an application that tricks the computer you’ve connected your device to (via USB) into treating your device’s memory card as a separate drive (without synchronising), and another application that launches software stored on your device’s memory card.

This is a brilliant idea, provided you’re not one of those people who loses or changes their mobile devices easily!

TotalPDA does not vouch for this software in any way.
