USB Swiss Army Knife from I Want One Of Those
The Swiss army knife is an institution - a multi-purpose device that made every boy scout and girl guide green with envy. In digerati-speak, it was a convergent integrated digital device - but that was in the days when digital meant 'with your fingers'.
But now it's been moved into the new-style digital generation, combining the ever-useful knife/scissors/nailfile combo with a ball-point pen (if you happen to use paper) and a USB stick. Yes, this device can carry around all your precious documents, and protect them both physically (with the blade) and electronically, with encryption on the USB stick.
And it's got an led light.
What more could any gadget freak want - or any boy scout or girl guide, whatever their age?
