Swiss Army Knife with MP3: s.beat

Just when I thought nothing could ever top the Swiss Army Knife USB key, Swissbit has come up with the s.beat, a Swiss Army knife with a built-in MP3 player. It’ll be available in 1, 2, and 4GB capacities, and support MP3, WMA, even OGG Vorbis! As if that’s not enough, there is also an FM tuner with six presets, a high-contrast LCD display, and a protective cap for the USB port, just in case you want to take it out of the knife entirely. But thats not all! A remote control, a set of headphones, a USB cable, and a rubber arm strap complete the Swiss Army package. Of course, there’s also the standard knife, file, screwdriver, and scissors, a wonderful classic which makes this mp3 player different from all others.

The 1GB and 2GB versions are starting at US$276 and US$415 respectively, while the 4GB version hits shelves in Spring 2006 for an unconfirmed price. But until then this will surely be one of the best christmas presents ever.
