USB Memory stick/pen and USB Falsh Stick/Pen?

Hi im lookin at gettin a 8GB memory stick/pen but iv seen alot of them called Flash sticks/pens can any one tell me the differnce between them pls or are they just the same but differnt names thank u

Answer:
Flash Sticks and USB Memory sticks are the same thing.

The memory used is called flash memory, and uses chips which can be written to and save the info even with no power.

Corsair are good, just bought a 2GB stick and its good quality, rugged and quite small. Quite fast in use as well.

Tekheads are doing the 4Mb for £31.85 including delivery, address below
flash is just the way it stores the memory and doesn't have an impact on what you buy.

try www.bigpockets.co.uk (on the left under usb / memory)
There the cheapest I know and have really quick delivery.
i agree with him
flash and memory sticks are both the same.however like graphic cards(which are also known as video cards) its just another name given by manufacturers to describe the same device
memory/flash sticks are popular at the moment with the inclusion of "ready-boost"in windows vista,this gives a user extra virtual memory by the way of a usb memory stick
just right click the icon in "computer£and select properties,then select the "readyboost"tab and choose the amount of space you wish to allocate for "readyboost"
memory sticks/pens are the technology that replaced floppy disks for media storage
good luck mate!
