Well, four years on from the OP, I've just bought a 2GB memory stick in Fiji for approx £20 only to discover I could have gotten the same thing from another retailer for £15. This is in Suva where imported IT equipment tends to be expensive but I had a need and at these prices, I couldn't care less.

I was at a conference two weeks ago and they were given away as booth swag. 256MB thumb drive and a 4 port mini USB hub. ^

I would think that thumb drives would be like candy nowadays. I have a 512mb Sandisk thumb drive and I wouldn't part with that thing for the world! It's perfect for carrying various 'important documents' with me whenever I may need them.
