    Here is one of the best on the market; made by Memina. It's called the pocket rocket!

    http://www.memina.com

    I bought the 512MB and love it; almost as much as I love my Wife!! It has a cool docking station too which I like alot and you can't lose the cap on it like you do with most other USB flash drives. It is 2.0 compliant.

    good luck!

    do u know if San disk usb drives are good, or any major company ones, the reason i'm asking for those is because i'm in canada, and i don't like to order online

    I have a cheapie LEXAR. It's a 256Mb, but now I wish that I had bought a bigger one, atleast 512Mb. But it works great and I don't know how I ever lived without one.
