will be possible to run apache/mysql/rev application all within a u3 flash
drive?

Robert,
It's possible, though I don't think there is a proper U3 solution. I've
installed XAMPP (a portable Apache, MySQL, PHP bundle designed to
install on removable media) on a U3 drive and it is fine as long as
you are a teensy bit geeky.
For a seamless non-geek user experience though, I don't think this will
work well. You have to start and remember to stop it yourself, since it
doesn't integrate with the U3 stuff at all, but is just regular win
software that has been modified so it doesn't install anything on the
host computer (unlike U3 which does).
Don't know why you want to use a U3 drive particularly. IMO It could be
easier to use a normal thumb drive and pStart, which gives you a popup
menu of apps in the system tray (effectively a start menu for your
portable drive), similar to U3 but without the (IMHO) tacky stuff.
