Lenovo Olympic Flash Drives

Posted Aug 12th 2008 3:02PM by Rigel Celeste
Filed under: Gadgets


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.

The Stallion: A $30,000 Big Wheel

As with most things in the luxury arena, it's about extremes and how much you really love something if you're going to spend loads of money on it. And it's no different with this three wheeler. It's called The Stallion from Thoroughbred Motorsports, and at $30,000 it's the world's most expensive three wheeler. Albeit a fancy one, it's basically a cross between a car and a motorcycle, plus all kinds of fun features covering everything from performance (the same power to weight ratio a Mustange GT and 45mpg highway gas mileage) to comfort (A/C and cup holders for both the driver in the front seat and the passenger in the back). Oh, and it comes in your choice of six fun colors.

BMW Welt. BMW's Fancy New Palace Of Cars

BMW Welt, or BMW World in English, is located in Munich Germany and is designed to present new BMW owners with their vehicles in the best light possible -- literally. After purchasing a new BMW, owners will have the option of passing on picking up their car the boring way (at a local dealer) and can instead head over to get the full treatment at BMW Welt. Their car will be gleaming and glittering under a spotlight while spinning slowly on a turntable -- what better way to see your brand new purchase for the first time?

Of course there's a lot more going on at BMW Welt than just cars on turntables, although with 170 cars being delivered there daily come October there's got to be a lot of turning going on.

The Top 10 High-Tech Luxury Cars

One of the biggest challenges when it comes to combining technology and luxury vehicles is doing it in a way that is user-friendly, because it's about convenience, fun, and safety -- not frustration. These luxury cars can do everything from play your mp3s and DVDs to adjust automatically to treacherous driving conditions and off-road terrain. And perhaps best of all, they look good doing it.

Diamond-Protected Data From Mii Stor

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.
