The Olympics is always a big deal and this year the event seems more spectacular than ever, and as always there is no shortage of Olympic-themed goodies and gadgets. One group of such gadgets would be these limited edition USB flash drives created by the Chinese company Lenovo. Ranging in price from $199-$980 there's one set that's made of some of the same material as the Olympic torch, one set shaped like medallions on a chain, one set that features a Chinese mascot, and one sleek silver set that comes in a special mahogany box. And of course all the sets also feature the official logo of the Beijing Olympics.

If you're interested in getting one of these themed drives you better hurry because they're selling out quick -- the "medallion" ones are already gone.

Filed under: Apparel, Gadgets, Holiday Guides

The tough fashion look of dog tags now adds function to style with Olinari -- Uncommon Design. Hidden inside the tag is a 2GB Sony micro vault USB drive so your info is on the go with you at all times. Hanging from a 24" sterling silver chain and featuring four different design options to suit your attitude this is the perfect holiday gift for that hard-to-buy-for, rugged person. For $349 I might opt for the cheaper version at the local office store but I do like the creative punch and combination factor... I wonder if they will make other jewelry or accessories that carry things I need? If someone designs a watch with USB, camera and ipod cables, earphones and cell phone charger then we'll talk.

Gresso Flash Drives For The J. Lo. Enthusiast

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The folks at Gresso have found a new way to sell music using on of their wood USB flash drives. They are now teaming up with music companies to release flash drives for specific albums. Their first offering is Jennifer Lopez's new album "Brave". The flash drive costs $70. Considering that Lopez is having enough trouble selling the album in its regular format this doesn't seem like the best choice for an initial offering.

Oooms Wooden Memory Sticks

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Some things, cool or creative as they may be, just strike me as hilarious. And these Wooden Memory Sticks by Oooms had me laughing out loud when I first saw them. Maybe it's because they're so life-like that it brought to mind visions of shoving a stick into my computer and expecting it to store my data for me. And they look so realistic because they are real -- they're handpicked branches from the woods that are professionally handcrafted into USB storage discs.

Available in 256 mb, 512 mb, 1 Gb, and 2 Gb memory sizes and measuring about 2cm x 2cm x 10cm, they cost between 45 and 80 euros each. All laughter aside, it's a really neat idea.

Filed under: Gadgets

There's always room for more bling in our lives, sometimes in the most unlikely of places. It's not that I haven't seen decked out USB drives before, but I guess I just figure if you're going to go there then do it right and go all out. The Phillips-Swarovski Active Crystal collection definitely goes there, squeezing as many Swarovski crystals as possible onto some very cute electronic gadgets. For USB drives there's the 1 GB "Heart Beat," a two-piece locket style, and the 1 GB "Lock-Out," and retractable padlock shaped one, both of which will sell for $179.

The collection also includes headphones and earbuds with large crystals embedded in each ear piece. Available in 4 different designs they will range in price from $79-$149. The entire line is scheduled to come out this August.

Diamond-Protected Data From Mii Stor

by Anton Friant (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Let's face it; it's downright humiliating to be caught with a boring old plastic jump drive when the rest of the gadgets in your pocket are encrusted to the teeth (err, lanyards) with diamonds. So thank Mii Stor for finally pressing some ice into this 4GB USB flash drive, dubbed the "Snow". The case AND the chain are white gold, so you can be sure you won't be embarrassed when you hang this puppy from your neck with the rest of your uber-posh -gadgetry. It's yours today for a song (if your songs are worth $19,000).

Thanks BornRich.

Mottainai Crystal USB Drive

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

This gem of a USB drive is made by SolidAlliance and is known as the Mottainai. The 2 GB memory stick looks like gold, although it is actually made of bronze, and has beautiful, multi-faceted crystals from Statsuma Kiriko embedded in it. Apparently, it was made "as a tribute to the Japanese craft industry," although we suspect the manufacturer didn't mind the idea of adding a little bling to computers, either. Price: $765.

Darth Vader Mimobot USB Flash Drive

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

This seems like it would be a good gift item for a Star Wars fan, especially if they don't need all the space that a 64-GB flash drive provides. These Darth Vader Mimobot USB Flash Drives are due to be released in a limited run of 3,500 units in January 2007 (just a bit too late for the holiday season!). Each one stands just over 2-inches high and is available in four memory sizes: 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB. Prices range from $80-$170, and placing a pre-order is probably a good idea, since, as collectibles, they will probably sell out quickly.
