I haven’t heard anything about Singu in a long while. Latest version I could install from the AUR was: 1.8.9 (8382) BETA. Did my bestest informed chief and über blogger Inara hear anything about what’s going on in the Singu camp?

There are “nightly” builds available still (I believe) – but as they are not “releases” I tend not to report on them (nor do I generally cover “alpha” and “beta” releases for TPVs *unless* the release is significant & very public – as per the Firestorm EEP beta). As I’ve not seen anyone from the Singu team at the TPV Developer meetings for a number of months, I’m not sure what the state of play is.

Do you know if any of the viewers are available as PortableApps?

If you mean running the viewer purely via memory stick for Windows, it is something I have not tried. If you have a thumb drive with sufficient space, the easiest way is to try for yourself.
If you are referring to running SL via other devices – Android, iOS – there are “official” apps in development by LL, but not currently available for general consumption. However, there are various 3rd party apps that can be used – see my current viewer releases page or the Third Party Viewer Directory for details.
