ThinkFree Portable – Essential for everyone!
I was expecting this beautiful thing to arrive at my place and was getting restless to give it a try. The thing which I’m talking about here is the ThinkFree portable edition drive. Finally, the day came when I received the the drive and got the opportunity to test it.
The drive has the capacity of 1 Gb and is a U3 smart drive with ThinkFree office pre-installed in it with some other important and free softwares. Here’s the list of software’s installed in the U3 drive :
- ThinkFree Portable.
- Portable Firefox.
- Portable Thunderbird.
- Foxit Reader for U3.
- Yahoo Widgets for U3.
- Dmailer Sync for U3.
All these software come as part of the drive and in some way or the other pretty useful for most of the people. However, what impressed the most was the idea which will certainly help you and will make sure that you get the mobility even if you are not using your own computer.
With the help of ThinkFree portable edition, you’ll be able to not only view but you’ll be able to edit and save the important documents (word files, excel files or presentations) on your drive only. This can not only save lot of time and effort for you but immense comfort you get with it, can’t be described in words. Imagine! you don’t have to worry about any computer not having your favorite office application, as you are carrying it with you in your pocket and there is no need of installation required for it, just plug and play! ThinkFree office suite is not only impressive but it is one of the featured packed online office service and if you want to check, what exactly comes with the drive, then use the ThinkFree’s online edition. It is exactly same but the portable edition is much faster and is handy with you all the time, it is as fast as any other desktop software.
Not only the comfort is for Office applications, but the comfort comes when you are planning to use the internet. With Portable Firefox you get the personalized browser every time you use a different computer and same goes for email as you have Portable Thunderbird.
ThinkFree is one of the online office suite which has impressed me a lot and I see them as one of the only companies, who are doing as good as Zoho, when it comes to Office 2.0 and this step of launching a portable edition for U3 smart drives will certainly help them in increasing the market share too.
All in all, I can say that this is a must have for everyone and one must buy one drive like this for the comfort of having favorite software available with you at all the times.

Dude…..
Microsoft and SanDisk are working on U3’s successor.
And you still report about U3?

Thank you for the nice words about our product.
We also are moving past U3. For several reasons, cheif among those is that we are very committed to being cross platform compatible between Mac/PC/Linux and U3 is limited in that respect.
So as you said “you don’t have to worry about any computer not having your favorite office application,” we would like you to not have to even worry about if it is a PC or a Mac.

@ Techzilo : Well, as far as Microsoft and Sandisk are concerned, let’s see when exactly they come out with the successor of U3 but for the time being we have U3, so why not blog about U3?
@ Andrew : I’m glad that you liked the article & even better that you are working on a cross platform stuff. Best of luck guyz :)

@ Nirmal : thanks a lot for stumbling :)
@ Shankar : Idea seems good and may be I’ll work on it too but at a later stage. Right now, my idea is to make ReviewSaurus a place, where users will be able to find software reviews.
