Default Convergence, a la Swiss Army Knifes

http://www.outdoorlife.com/outdoor/...1304110,00.html

Being Pocket PC aficionados, I know we're all familiar with convergence, but this really takes the cake. There's 85 tools in this... thing. It's for real, but is this thing small enough to a Swiss Army Knife? 8O



Have a good weekend everyone!

I've love to see the guy who tried to get through airport security with it. I think that it technically qualifies as a knife, but this would be a stretch as a pocket-knife.

I was going to get one but it didn't have a USB flash storage module in it. What were they thinking? And no crow bar either !

Just what I need, a 2 pound Knife or a 2 pound screwdriver or a 2 pound nail file or a 2 pound corkscrew... you get the idea...

This is an amusing, albeit impractical, gadget...
