[access-uk] Confused now about Pen drives

Hi all -

I was looking on Play at USB flash memory, and although some drives are 
advertised as being U3 drives, many are not, just saying they are say, 4 or 8 
or 16 GB USB flash memory. I've kind of decided to avoid U3 drives as it seems 
they need to be set up some how, and all I want is a portable USB memory stick! 
Anyway, from reading some reviews, some people have said things like they 
installed and ran an OS from a Sandisk flash drive. the drives they are talking 
about, didn't mention being a U3 drive, and this is my confusion, do U3 drives 
always have U3 mentioned in their description or not?

Play themselves, do a 16GB USB flash drive, but again do not say if it is U3, 
what they do say is that it is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP, and several 
flavours of Mac OS, but they don't mention Vista!

I'd really apreciate some help in clearing this one up as I don't know what to 
go for!

Many thanks -

Andy
