Here's what I'm looking for:

-cheap - like under $50 or even under $35
-not huge - 128MB to 256MB
-small - like thumb-drive shaped
-like a thumb drive, it would be nice if it had a male USB end
-doesn't need a fancy screen or anything
-important: must operate as a standard mass storage device


Here's the deal: my girlfriend may get an MP3 player for her birthday. One of the contenders is the Archos Gmini400, a very impressive little toy. One of the impressive bits is that it has USB host capabilities. See where I'm going with this?

So basically, when she's working out and doesn't want the bulk of the Archos, she could just quickly throw a few dozen songs onto a tiny MP3 player with only minimal functionality and be on her merry way.

I know my requirements are a bit limiting, especially in the price department, but I've seen several things that come close, but no cigar.

Oh, and does anyone know where I could get a USB cable that was male mini USB to female type B connector, only as short as possible, like a matter of inches?
