USB Pen/flash drive? Cheapest 1Gb??

Anyone seen any good offers for 1Gb USB pen drives? I see the price had dropped considerably in the last year.
I've just realised one would be useful now my floppy discs aren't widely useful when transferring data to other peoples PC's!
Roughly how much is 1Gb anyway? 512Mb might do me as it'll only be the odd set of pictures or Office documents?? (Some might contain clipart or graphics!)
Thanks

You may as well go for 1gb. They can be found for under £10 if you look on Microdirect, Ebuyer etc..."Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha."0

1 GB is about 700 floppies! This thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=329317 has a discount code for this Kingston USB drive. I don't know if it's still valid.0

A good selection of styles and sizes here to give you an idea:

You can probably find cheaper elsewhere, but at least these don't have hidden delivery charges.Charlie0 -
