What difference does it make if I buy a USB memory key with or without the U3 capability?

If you use a USB flash drive you only have your files, but with U3 you would have software installed which may mot be on the computer you are using outside your home.

From the site:
Store your data and carry software applications!

Storage+Software=Smart

Imagine carrying your software on the same flash drive that carries your files. That�s what you can do with a U3 smart drive. You can plug it into any PC and work, play a game, message friends, send email, edit photos and more. A U3 smart drive makes any PC your own PC. And when you unplug it, it leaves no personal data behind.

I have a u3 flash drive however i was having real problems connecting it to networked computers (university network) so i disabled it and it now works fine. I can see how it could be useful but i would not pay extra for it

Great but most of the software is available for standard usb drives and run fine on my not so smart usb.

I like how I can have programs on it and run them on any computer as if it were a tiny hard drive. Every go to other people's computers and need to load a pdf and they don't have the viewer with is a hassle to install or maybe you're not allowed to install anything.

U3 has a pdf viewer program that will work on any machine. Like to carry all the different video and sound codecs that most machines lack? You can.
