Gadget Alert: The Swiss Army Knife + 8GB USB Flash
This tool was advertised in the most recent (June 2010) issue of Wired Magazine:
Today, the average USB-Thumb flash drive is extremely affordable.
You can pick up an HP Flash Drive with the same 8GB Storage capacity from Amazon for less than 20 Dollars
The Swiss Army Flash Knife – $79.95
Even with its fairly steep price (compared to other flash drives with the same capacity) in my opinion, whoever looked at the prototypical design of a USB thumbdrive and recognized its aesthetic connection to Swiss Army Knife paraphernalia is a genius.
I wish I was 12 again.
