Categories: Silicon Valley SightingsPosted on April 12th, 2007

Here’s how we know we’ve come of age…necessities involve portable storage, LED lights, pen and of course, small blade.

Model: Sam Levin handles a real Swiss Army Knife USB.

I have one.

I think it is a cool idea. I would even use it not only for a pocket knife, but a lipstick-flash drive, or cell phone-flash drive or a recording device, plus flash drive. Wait, they probably already had it.

I certainly do appreciate that...now to get that data online ;)

That's pretty darn cool...and sick at the same time:)

Amazing what they are doing with storage devices these days, not to mention how all of the prices are coming down quickly (just bought a 160gb external drive (new) for 49.99). I am sure Jeremiah appreciates that;-)

Ok, let's clear this one up. I'm a digital scout; seeking out cool technology based tools that improve productivity (and sometimes waste it) ;-)

Folks, Swissbit - http://www.swissbit.com/index.php?id=11&L=1 is the maker of these cool pocket knove/USB thumb drives. They are quite useful (up to 2GB) when you're traveling or at a place where there's no network. The dilemma is that airlines prohibit carrying these on board so be prepared!
