Now, I'm not going to pretend that the SwissMemory is a new product, since it was initially released a few months ago. However, the original SwissMemory only sported a 64MB USB memory key, which, to be perfectly honest, isn't capacious enough by today's standards.</i>"<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/swiss_usb.jpg" /> <br /><br />Seems like a great idea on the surface, but for me I just can't use it. With all the traveling I do, I'd hate to leave this in my pocket when I show up at the airport. I doubt they'll let me bring it on the plane. <br />:ninja:<br />Of course all the times I've been using a USB flash drive and thought, "Gee, I sure wish I could file my nails!"....

This just does not make sense in a regular knife. Had they integrated it into this knife, it would make far more sense.

Swiss Army Cybertool Pocket Knife

From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this complete set of precision tools for servicing a computer--and for lots of other jobs--all neatly folded and tucked into a single implement that measures just 3-1/2 inches long. Sheathed in translucent red plastic, the Cybertool pocket knife is a toolbox small enough to fit into a pocket or clip onto a key ring. A valued companion, this pocket knife consists of 28 separate tools and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
The tools inside the pocket knife are: large and small knife blades; a bit wrench; a bit case; 4 mm and 5 mm Hex sockets; #8, #10, and #15 Torx bits; a #2 Phillips head bit; a 4 mm Hex bit; a 4 mm flat head; #0 and #1 Pozidrive bits; a ballpoint pen; a DIP switch setter; a bottle opener; a can opener; 3 mm and 6 mm screwdrivers; a mini screwdriver; a wire stripper; a reamer; a sewing eye; a corkscrew; a straight pin; a toothpick; and tweezers.

I think this is pretty cool actually - I carry a 256 MB Flash drive with my everyday, and I've often wished I had a pocket knife with me as well. This would give me the best of both worlds - I don't travel much anymore, so I wouldn't need to worry about security. Now if they just had it in a higher capacity... :D

The Gadgeteer just reviewed (http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/victorinox-swiss-memory-knife-review.html) this little gem recently, and there actually is an airplane-safe version (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/6b3b/images/887/) of this available without the tools deemed to be a security risk.

I guess given how I tend to use pocket knives, I would be worried about damaging the memory portion due to dirt and debris exposure.....I'd feel better about a key chain memory key personally.

OK, maybe with corkscrew and a bottle opener....
