HI, Great idea. Did you know that SONY is going to support MP3's with their players? I mention this as I hope we can get more nice useful, easy-to-use devices..
Yes, it's hardware since, as was stated earlier, it plugs into a USB port.
It is memory, since it has no moving parts. However, it appears on your system as a disk drive, and can be treated in much the same way as a disk drive.
Physically, most are about the size of your little finger.
They are extremely handy if you want to copy files from one PC to another.

It may plug into an available USB port, or have a dedicated slot, depending on make and type.
Very convenient for moving large files about. They come in various sizes from a few Megabytes to around and even over a Gigabyte.

Hello,
Just what is a memory stick and how does one use it? What are its advantages and disadvantages and how accessible are they?
Thank you for answering what I suppose is a very novice question.
