Cameyo

As a general rule, portable apps are safer for the computer since they don’t create registry entries and don’t make any other modifications to the system. Cameyo is an application virtualization product that packages entire programs into standalone executable files, eliminating the need to install them.

Basically, application virtualization is a term used to describe technologies that improve portability, manageability and compatibility of programs. Thus, a virtualized app is not installed in the traditional sense, although you can still use it as if it were.

Cameyo comes with a simple interface and an intuitive layout. For instance, the “Library” area of the interface contains an extensive list of pre-packaged programs, or, in layman’s terms, technologies that don’t need to be installed on the computer in order to work.

These are stored under various categories, such as “Browsers”, “Communication”, “Education”, “Media”, “Photos & Graphics”, “Productivity”, “Programming”, “Security”, “Sound & Music” and “Utilities”.

Thus, by using Cameyo you don’t need to burden the computer with some of the most basic apps that are necessary on a day-to-day basis, such as Firefox and Chrome, Yahoo! Messenger and Thunderbird, Open Office, Adobe Reader or iTunes, just to name a few. These only need to be downloaded, while launching them can be done from Cameyo’s interface.

Another important function of this program is the ability to create virtual packages of the apps installed on the computer. The first time around, the process takes a longer time because it scans the system. While the entire thing sounds like an extremely difficult job to pull off, that couldn’t be farther from the truth: Cameyo’s simple user interface guides you through the process in such a way that you could have virtually no computer experience whatsoever and still manage to complete the task.

Also, the tool can store the packages in the cloud space assigned to each account.

The bottom line is that Cameyo is a nice program that offers a brand new way of using apps. Inexperienced users should find it easy to work with, thanks to the intuitive layout.
