And if you look, you can find them small enough that they barely stick out 
of the USB socket, making it a lot more portable than dragging an external 
hard drive around.

My Blackberry Playbook tablet is 16gig, and it took a long time to fill it 
up, even though I was using it to download large files, books out of 
copyright and the like.  Of course, I have a desktop so I can transfer as 
needed, but for a lot of use, 16gig is good enough, especially when it 
keesp the whole laptop small.
