Anyone played around with putting a completely stand alone application on a memory stick - Can it be done? It would be so good to have an application/runtime files/dll's etc on a device that you know will work when it gets given to a user. Just airing thoughts, wondered of the possibilities.

Application on Memory Stick 2

ZOR,
Google Search for "WinFast USB2.0 Flash Disk"
Top answer should be your man,
Specs tell me that the USB2.0 Drives have a Read/write Speed of 8MB/s and 4MB/s Respectively, whereas the USB1.1 drives have 800KB/s and 400KB/s respectively.
In reality using databases, you can probably half these speeds running your app from the drive.
Hope this helps,

Still here, just on a different time frame to you guys. Most of my apps run on laptops, so i'm able to run apps from compact flash cards with PCMCIA adapters.
Must now find USB 2.0 adapters as the flash disks seem to run at a reasonable speed. Haven't pushed them to a great extent yet though.

Hi all - interesting thread,
USB 2.0 can have transmission speeds up to 12Mbits/s. I have just purchase a memory drive and its spec is (USB 2.0)
6 MB/s Reading speed and 6.5 MB/s writing speed.
I have not tried running a db or app from it, but there were no problems in playing mp3s from it and writing other data to it at the same time. They are very useful.

Thanks Oliver, interesting. I was looking around the net for USB2.0 sticks, and now find some of them already have applications on, MP3player, FM Tuner/Radio, in addition to storage. Prices seem to vary in the UK, although reasonable, are sure to come down, however with digital cameras in a fast growing market, there memory devices may rule the way. Hope not, as the stick looks an excellent medium to put applications on, the floppy must fast losing its uses.
Oliver2003,
Just a 'few' bits wrong, max. transferspeed for HighSpeed USB 2.0 is 480 MBit/s s-), the 12 MBit/s is the USB 1.1 limit, also still supported by USB 2.0 ports/aparatus (backward compatibility)
This makes it interesting to investigate on actual transferspeeds with different brand USB memory sticks ;-)

TonHu,
you're right HighSpeed USB 2.0 is 480 MBit/s, but I think USB 2.0 is 12 MBit/s and USB 1.1 is 1.5MBit/s.
HighSpeed USB sounds just a bit faster!!
