[edit] Ceedo Personal

Ceedo Personal works like a portable operating system by allowing users to carry applications on portable media such as USB flash drives and pocket hard drives, running them inside a virtual environment. Using a simple interface called the Easy Access Menu, which resembles the Windows Start Menu, users can install standard Windows applications and use them whenever they plug their storage device into a host computer. Since applications running under the Ceedo environment are separate from the host computer, there is no trace left behind once the user disconnects the device.

Ceedo Personal has a variety of of popular software applications available to download from its Programs Directory. In addition, Ceedo sells an add-on product called Argo Application Installer that allows the user to install standard Windows application to their Ceedo device that are not available in the Programs Directory.

[edit] Technology

Ceedo Personal uses Ceedo's virtualization to enable applications to run from a portable device while using resources from the host PC (screen, processing power, drives, internet connection, printers, etc.) The platform manages the applications’ launching and operation in an independent environment, allowing them to run regardless of the specific settings of the host computer.

[edit] Comparison to U3

Ceedo Personal has often been compared to another product, U3, that is similar in both appearance and functionality. However, a key difference between U3 and Ceedo is that Ceedo does not require Windows applications to be modified in order for them to be allowed to be carried on the portable device.

[edit] Compatibility

Ceedo Personal supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

[edit] Availability

Ceedo Personal has been licensed by consumer storage vendors including Seagate, Verbatim, Maxell, ExcelStor, Venzero and others to add value to their portable storage devices. The product has been pre-bundled on millions of devices and is sold worldwide.

Ceedo Personal is also sold directly from Ceedo's website.
