[X4U] USB Drive recommendations?

[net kat]

heh...good to know the cruzer can survive a few trips thru the washer..

can I expect to pay well under $100 US for something like that? the  
smaller iPod is $99, and after you factor out the headphones and the  
Apple glamour markup, I can see that thing being more like $60
