The distinction is the two different USB devices. One is the USB Media Stick which is used for storing media files. This will NOT operate as a drive, which is the other kind - a USB Drive which will run portable softwares and launch and install ISO's (distros) - and again, you can NOT do that on a USB Media "Stick".
Do you have pictures of these USB Media "Sticks" as you call them? Googleing for that gives me all sorts of info on Thumb Drives, USB Sticks, and USB Keys, all of which are interchangeable terms these days. I've heard of "Memroy Sticks" but that odd term tends to refer to things like the Sony MemorySick and MSPro form factor of memory card. Those are more akin to SD/SDHC type memory devices than USB storage devices.
In fact, I do not think i have EVER seen a USB storage device that fits the description you give of a "Media Stick".
I'm genuinely being curious here, because it appears you've had bad experiences with an entire class of USB devices I have never heard of before. (Unless Media Stick IS the same device that is named at different times, USB Stick, USB Key, ThumbDrive, USB Storage Device, etc).

P.S. is THIS what you mean? http://hsti.com/products/wirelessmediastick
which does NOT store anything, it's more like a Wireless Dongle, not a storage device and really has nothing at all in common with usb keys than the fact that it has a USB port and is roughly the same shape and size (like most other wi-fi, bluetooth and similar dongles).
