The Trekstor USBstick 2.0 is the 8GB memory stick version in this range. I actually didn't consider really the brand name as I had never really heard of Treakstor before and wasn't one hundred percent sure if they were reliable. However when I bought it in Currys last year and they had on offer many different memory capacities, ranging from 512Mb to 16Gb.
About It
Bascially 8GB can hold around 2,000 songs, 1,200-2,000 photos (depending on size of photos) and 4 hours of video. Of course this all depends of the sizes and quality but these are for the average person. This however was exactly what I needed as I wanted to carry photos, documents and songs. I was going to get the 2GB stick however I changed my mind as there wasn't much of a price difference so went for the bigger size.

I had gone for several years without a USBstick at all, and I finally came to a point in my life where I required several for distributing a project I was working on. I had a look around for reasonably priced 4Gb USBsticks and I stumbled upon the SanDisk Cruzer Micro U3.
I had recalled reading about U3 devices awhile back so I was quite interested to find out what they were. I discovered that U3 devices pretend to have a CD drive inside them so when you plug in the device it will install its drivers (as with any usbstick) and then it has the ability to autorun software. The software that comes with the USBstick allows certain programs to be installed on the stick, this is very useful as you can run programs and keep your settings saved on your usbstick so that they are not lost from computer to computer.

midnight to midnight. You can either choose to top up using E-top up (card that comes with the USB) or an online top-up.
I chose the Web 'n' Walk Plus (24 months) and added this to the basket and then was asked to choose a device. They only previously had the USB modem (dongle) but they now have a USB modem stick which is what I chose. This stick is small and many of my friends have mistaken it for a lipstick or a lighter due to the size and the way it looks. It has a lid which keeps the connector safe. It is a shiny black with a pink line at the bottom and the top. As it is a stick and not a dongle it goes straight into the USB port and does not hang from a wire which is what the dongle does. The stick stays in securely and is small enough to not be annoying to you if you are using a laptop.
The price of the USB modem is free ...

Manufacturer's product description
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick connects your computer to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN or any other WLAN router that supports the current IEEE 802.11b/g standards. With FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick the WLAN is particularly secure since it offers the WPA2 encryption standard (802.11i) which is considered unbreakable. However, for remote terminals that are unable to support this standard, it is possible to select WPA or WEP encryption. FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick supports the new 802.11g++ WLAN mode (125 Mbit/s) and thus permits up to 35% net faster data transmission in comparison to 802.11g.
