My current favorites are the 128MB Intelligent Stick (iStick) USB drives
from PQI (http://www.outpost.com/product/3631335/).  I've got two of 
them.  They're about the thickness of two credit cards, and even come
with a credit-card-sized carrying case that'll hold two.

I carry them in my wallet.  That's how small they are.  Work a treat
with OS X, WinXP, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux.
