The one I got my sister a while back is a cheapo model from Wally World.
It's about 5x2x1 cm. It pulls apart into two sections -- an L-shaped bit
that holds a single AAA, and a 2 GB USB flash drive (with LCD bit).

Can't do that, but the battery lasts for days and days, you can use a
rechargable (probably, but she doesn't have any) and AAAs are cheap and
ubiquitous.
