I've sent a 250MB USB MiniCruzer (SanDisk) through the wash
without any problems. I wouldn't recommend anyone do it, but
the SanDisk thing is a USB "chip". Works great. It doesn't have a
disk at all and acts more like a Removable RamDisk once the
system recognizes it.

Was cheap when I bought it two years ago. The one I got is 256MB
in size, but they're up to 4GB now...

SanDisk http://www.sandisk.com is advertising some waterproof
models as well on their homepage. I don't think mine is waterproof,
I sent it through the dryer as well. Nothing was lost and I don't
recommend anyone do this. The mention of waterproof was off
the homepage link there.

Sony Was supposed to release a 40GB Flash Card at the end of
2003 for certain camcorders...

I don't know anything about this product, but it looks like it is
presented as a 40GB flash memory... For about $269.00.
