Webaroo: Like an offline browser, Webaroo lets you read websites from your portable drive even while you are disconnected from the web. It works like this—you suggest Webaroo a list of websites and it fetches them while you are online. The local copies of these websites are more or less replicas of the the original web version. You can now go offline but the web content is still accessible.

A word of caution here—USB drives are very convenient but at the same time, they are small so the chances of losing them also run high. You should therefore consider using a program like TrueCrypt to encrypt data that’s on the portable drive.
