Lenovo already rolled out one Olympics-themed flash drive long before the Beijing Games kicked off, but now that the Opening Ceremonies have come and gone, the outfit is showing off a few more for good measure. The Mascot series contains a half dozen colorful 4GB units that’ll go for around $30 apiece, while the so-called Medallions will only be available on the second-hand market thanks to the original batch selling out. Lastly, we’ve got five slightly different 1GB titanium drives that boast swiveling plugs and arrive in a swank mahogany box. Huzzah?

It certainly hasn’t gone to the lengths Lenovo has gone with its Olympics tie-ins, but we wouldn’t exactly expect anything more from Kodak given its past adventures in athletic cross-promotion. Dubbed the M2008, this latest entry appears to simply be a rebranded version of the company’s M1033 compact camera, with it boasting the same 10-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, 3-inch LCD, and 720p video recording features as its non-Olympic counterpart. No word on a release ’round these parts, it seems, but those in China can apparently pick one up now for about $270.
