    I have 2x 1g Memory Stick Duo's for my Sony PSP. I also have a 512MB jump drive for work files and another 512MB Transflash card for my cell phone.

    So, I have 3g of flash memory.

    How much do you have?

    (Ipod, nanos and shuffles count if they contain flash memory)

    It must of already been merged. I have a hard time holding onto flash drives. I currently own a 1 gig ritec.

    Don't sweat it my friend. The mods have helped me out almost every time I've done a poll. =P

    I don't know what happened! My hand slipped and then all of the sudden, BAM another thread. Anyway, thanks, it's all better now.

    I wonder if some day I'll have a draw full of flash cards with ever increasing memory capacity. For example, I need a 2g Memory Stick Duo if I want to transfer movies to my PSP, but my gosh I don't want to pay $100.00 for one.

    I also wonder if some company will start to offer trade ups for your old cards? Anyone want to go into business :D

    I have:
    -4GB Nano
    -1GB OCZ flash drive
    -256MB PNY flash drie
    -512MB Memory Stick Duo

    Probably some other cards lying around but that's all I use on a daily basis so 5GB is what I voted.

    Ipods count? Woo! I have more than I thought. Lol, it should of been multipule choice. I have a Silver 4gig Ipod Mini.

    How about flash drives no longer with me:
    -64MB, can't remember brand. (Stolen!)
    -128MB GE (Washed in the laundry...)
    -Green 256MB Philips MP3/Flash combo. (Tip became so loose computers don't recognize it.)
    -Second 128 GE (Left it in the USB port while I was reformating the desktop and accidently reformatted it)
    -Red and silver 512 drive, don't even remember the brand (Have no idea what happened to it)
    -512MB red leather jump drive. (Tip came off in friend's laptop)
    -Third 128MB GE (Lost in McDonald's parking lot. Flung off keychain in the dark. Then I got hit by someone car door trying to find it. x.X ;)

    I also have a Personal CD player with MP3 capability. 256Mb capacity. CD player broke at the beach (As all CD players break at the beach within the first 2 minutes.) The mp3 player still works.

    Cell phone doesn't have any its just a phone very simple. I have 128mb for my camera and a 16mb for it also. Plan to get 1gig for PSP though. I don't take many pictures and my camera is only 4mp so it works.

    New 7mp camera and I have a 1gig sd ultra 2 card now to go with it. Still need the PSP memory though..

    Oh wait, forgot 2 x 128MB memory cards for my camera and the 16MB card that came with it also. Still puts me in the same category though.

    Wow - I am really in the minority - probably becasue I only thought the poll was about usb keys. (I only have a 512MB)

    If we count in the 2GB Memory Stick Duo (for PSP) then its a lot more.

    FYI - Vista loves high speed flash memory. ReadyBoost is a feature that uses free flash space to cache windows ops - it really works! Even on a 512mb usb key.

    Whoops, I voted wrong: I forgot my iPod Nano is flash memory :p

    I said I had 3 GB, but actually I have 5 GB of flash memory because I have a 2 GB iPod Nano.

    Let's see, a 2 GB SD card for my cellphone, 1 GB USB stick.

    Zilch.. Unless you count the 40 MB in my phone, and 512 MB xD for my digicam... I prefer external HDDs. Flash is just not cost effective...
