And best of all, no blades so it can go everywhere.

£250 is a bit pricey though.

While it is neat. I really cant see them selling many of them. I mean I see no actual use for one and I donk have a clue on whom would use one.

[Mr. Whippy]

Uhm...

I would.  Especially if it can function as a bluetooth mouse.  I often travel with a Fujitsu U810, which has an ok keyboard, but nearly useless touch pad.  That would also double my hard drive space.

Not at that price, but get it down to $200 US and that's not far off the price of travel mouse, 32 GB flashdrive and pocket knife.

 

I went to the Vic webpage, but couldn't find reference to the BT mouse function.  There is a cool Alox flash knife...

Hmm knives and technosorcery really shouldn't mix if you ask me

[Mr. Whippy]

...like internet forums and multitools?

I'm just waiting for a lube stick on a SAK.

For airport security.

But not on the same tool though

I'm talking to you aren't I so i can't be a xenophobe

A technophobe perhaps...well definetly one of those

I actually think that's a pretty cool gadget. I'm not sure about the fingerprint reader, but I'd use the other things on there daily in my new job. (Actually we have fingerprint readers to open the doors in our offices and they are great, apart from when you are carrying a cup of coffee).

Problem is for £250, I can't see they'll sell many.

I can get a laser pointer and a flash drive for about a tenner.

[Benner]

I bet the RRP is $250 so hopefully the actual cost is half that.

Ah dollars - i thought I'd read pounds. Even so, it's a lot of wonga.

[Benner]

No I think I got that wrong, it is £250. 

[AndyTiedye]

No I think I got that wrong, it is £250.

So it should list for $250 here in the States, and be about $95 from Felinevet

The high price is due to the flash memory (32 gb is a lot) which is dropping everyday. If they come out with a similar sak with half or quarter mem capacity the price will be much cheaper.

That sounds about right.
