Newer devices have write cycles into the millions.
Also Flash drives have a "spreader" technology that ensures files are written all over the "disk" (so that no areas are used more than others). I'm not sure if the writes are into the millions (yet) but with tricks like this flash drives will be at least as reliable as regular hard drives.
