Agreed - Here in UK "Flash Drive" is used while good old "Memory Stick" is more common - as for "Thumb drive" - errrr - never heard of it !

Subject: RE: "USB compatible data storage device "
I think even "thumb drive" is falling out of usage. I see mostly "flash drive" these days. Although, the truth is that there's no particularly common term, yet. The world doesn't seem to've settled on much of anything.

Thumb drive is most commonly used today. Memory stick is a bit antiquated as the actual memory sticks were short-lived (yet another attempt by Sony to create a proprietary data storage medium).
