Swiss memory flash drive, a hi-tech wonder

Victorinox, the #1 manufacturer of pocket knives and pocket tools, started transforming their tools into USB drives a while back. Their newest hi-tech wonder tool is the SwissMemory Laser which perfectly pulls together four important tools: an USB flash drive, a LED light, a Swiss Army knife and a ballpoint pen. These functions have been skillfully integrated into this single wonder tool. This ultimate geek multi-tool is the perfect marriage of technology, practicality, materials, and quality design.

SwissMemory Laser boasts with 2GB of storage space inside, so that you can carry your boring PowerPoint presentations with you wherever you go. The red, directional laser beam emission has 70 degrees visible range, a 300 degrees visible range in complete darkness, and a self-regulated built-in APC circuit to allow for maximum output needs and conserve battery power. The USB flash drive portion of the knife can easily be removed.

The flash drive is USB powered; therefore no external power supply is required. The led blinks indicate read/write activity. This wonder tool works with Windows 98/SE/2000/ME/XP, MAC OS 9.x or above, Linux 2.4 or above, the red led light uses a single CR 1025 battery (included), it comes with USB cable (1 meter length) and weights no more than 33 g.

There are several different versions available. The SwissMemory Laser 2GB version will cost you $140 without tools or you can get the SwissMemory Flight Laser for $148 which includes standard tools like a scissor and metal file, a nail file with screwdriver and a key ring.

Those on a lower budget will be able to pick up the 1GB version for $97 and $105, respectively.
