Zotero is truly the portable research toolbox. Zotero's beta version 1.5 allows you to sync your files so that the research you did on your laptop at school is available on your desktop at home or work. Previously Zotero was limited to one Firefox profile on one computer at a time. This ability to sync your library expands the capability of Zotero. If you have version 1.0 installed, then you should upgrade to 1.5 to get the sync capability. Also, you'll need to register to create an account on Zotero, but it's free.
Zotero still automatically extracts bibliographic detail from any page online. You can still save the entire page, article or pdf in your library. Your library is still indexed for easy retrievability and you can still tag and make notes on individual records in your library. Citations are offered in thousands of formats, and Zotero can also insert them appropriately in your writing.
This 3 minute screencast made by the Zotero folks shows some of the features. Now, we just need it to write our papers for us and then it will be perfect!
