I have a Fujitsu-Siemens which my dad got along with his laptop. It looks awesome and works pretty well for me.

Later on I started using my MP3 player

You want to make sure that the pen drive you select is USB 2.0 compatible.

I like the ACP-EP because it is so small.

Yes...the MOST important thing is that a pen drive must be a 2.0 compatible..

Hmm...I heard that there is a pen-drive with 5GB of space...

And also...go window shopping..look around for the best deals.

If you live in SoCal, NorCal or Texas (I think?) Check out fry's electronics, thats where I get all my computer goods, and it is the cheapest place, by far, especially with their ad in the newspaper on fridays.

The highest capacity I've heard of is 4GB... then again, i've been known to be wrong in the past

I have a 1GB LG thumb drive, and it works wonders, looks snazzy too

You can see a pic of it http://www.lightspeed.net.au/shop/vi...ct=LG%2010RJ62

5GB pen drive...check it out:

I think they should call this a "ROUND DRIVE"...

Most portable flash drives will work, although, most of the flash drives don't go over 4GB.

Ahh, see but it's actually an external hard drive, not a thumb drive which uses flash memory

Rep Power: 3 H Brando is on a distinguished road
I wanted to get one for so long, I finally bought a little Lexar 128 meg drive like 2 years ago. Was only like $17 at the time. Now much bigger drives are around the same price, and I rarely use the thing. I thought I might find a use for it, but really do not. Mine is a sports model though and is very rugged.

I am considering buying one, but will wait until the price comes down on the larger capacity (1GB+) ones. Was almost tempted to get a small one (32-64MB) for cheap though.
