    A 512MB usb pen from komplett (manufacturer is Twinmos) costs €144 (excluding p&p)...

    Or you could get a 20GB 2.5" hard drive (9.5mm thick) from komplett (manufacturer is hitachi) for €101 (probably €110 with p&p) and a usb2.0 to 2.5" laptop drive case from ebay (manufacturer is IBM) .. The price will vary, but I got one of these for about €23 incl p&p and insurance, seller is in the states and has 418 sales and 99.8% customers happy ...
    If you got one for €30 with postage and packing, along with the €110 for the drive, then you have 20Gb of pocket sized storage for less than the 512MB pen drive ...

    Before anyone starts I KNOW that the pen drive is significantly smaller and more robust, but 40 times the storage (35 times after formatting??) is well worth it IMO

    [edit] I should point out that I havent received mine yet (only won it yesterday) so I cant vouch for its effectiveness, I have heard that the case is good quality and generally people are not having problems with this particular IBM case.[/edit]
