Question Recommend me a 4GB+ USB Flash Drive Please

I bought an Emtec (BASF) one a couple of months back and it's already foobared, so I need a new portable media storage device which is robust enough to cope with life on my keyring, and reliable. I'd ideally like to spend less than £15, so who's got good experiences to share ?

I got a mail from Memorybits.co.uk recently about a 4gb USB stick that also had SD/CF, etc card sockets for copying files off those cards too - Integral 4.0GB 3 in 1 (SD, Mini SD, Micro SD) +14 in1 (High Capacity) Card ReaderMICRO SD / TRANSFLASH : Memorybits.co.uk

Theres also one that reads phone SIM cards aswell - Nexxus Memory & SIM Reader PROCARD READERS : Memorybits.co.uk

try this
ATP 4GB USB EARTHDRIVE PENDRIVE WATERPROOF & SECURITY on eBay, also 1GB More, USB Pen Key Flash Drives, Drives Storage, Computing (end time 25-Dec-08 22:30:00 GMT)

If you want to spend about 90 quid, there is one that the CIA use, it also saves all ur Firefox bookmarks and has a built in proxy server so u can surf with NO work history lol
but its bullit proof and no one has got into one without loosing the data except the CIA, who can only get at the chip even they cant access the info.

4gb is too small if your downloading films and music and transferring it onto family and friends computers.......8gb is fine its only a tenner.
