TARGET: tech: what is it called?

[Nancy Voltmer <voltmer@NETINS.NET>]

        I was made aware of something new (to me) this summer, but everyone
seems to call it something different.  It plugs in to the USB port and
allows you to save files/information in place of a 3.5" disk.  I've
heard it referred to as:  memory stick, pocket drive, jump drive, etc.
Is there a generic term for this item?  (Or is it similar to Kleenex in
place of tissue?)
        I'll post a HIT with the responses.  Thank you in advance.
