I have never heard of a portlet.  Applets are Java programs that run
inside web browsers. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/applet.html

Coaching, problem solving, economical contract programming.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html for The Java Glossary.

Portlet is to portal as servlet is to server. There is a Sun whitepaper
here:

The original question is like asking what's the difference between a car
and someone with blond hair. Read the above links to find out what each
are.
