62% price drop to $99 - Victorinox SwissBeat MP3 Player 1 GB (Silver)

Combining the renowned Swiss Army Knife’s multi-tool versatility and a detachable Swissbit MP3 digital audio player, this three-inch-long device goes from office to hiking trail while looking cool in both settings and all those between. In addition to storing up to 1 GB of MP3, WMA, WAV, or OGG Vorbis sound files, the audio player includes a stereo FM radio with recording capability.

The detachable audio player plugs into any Windows or Macintosh computer with a USB port and also can be used to transport images and other data. Its lithium battery recharges automatically whenever the audio player is connected to a USB interface and lasts up to eight hours. A fetching remote control displaying the Swiss Army Knife’s famed Swiss-flag logo of white cross against a red background has two earphone jacks. (One set of earphones, with adjustable neck and arm straps and anti-dangling mechanism, and belt clip are included.) The silver-metal Swiss Army Knife housing that stores the audio player offers a knife blade, a combination nail file and screw driver, a scissors, a retractable ballpoint pen, a LED mini light, and a key ring.

To pass airport-security checks, the audio player detaches from the Swiss Army Knife housing, with a cap to protect the USB interface.
