Memorex launch World Cup inspired 1Gb USB 2.0 Flash Drives

Storage gets World Cup makeover slightly late

Keen to capitalise on the World Cup in its dying games, Memorex has launched a range of limited edition special commemorative Memorex TravelDrive for Germany 2006.

Each USB stick will feature the country's name, colour scheme and a football. Countries available are England, Italy, Holland, Germany, France and Spain and each storing up to 1GB of data.

The TravelDrive USB 2.0 flash drive is 22mm wide and 30% smaller than the original TravelDrive, while a reinforced aluminium lanyard loop on the back helps prevent breakage.

Expect to pay around £18 per drive, however if England crash out tomorrow against Portugal, we doubt the England version will be in as hot demand as perhaps Memorex had hoped.
