Presentation Pro -The Swiss Army Knife with Secure USB
My favorite of the new gadgets: The Swiss army knife wit Bluetooth, USB drive and only unlocks by fingerprint.
The Presentation Pro, which is designed to help survive the urban jungle rather a literal one, features a removable USB flashdrive with 32GB memory, a laser pointer, and most remarkably, fingerprint recognition.
The tool also boasts a facility that allows users to store all their passwords securely, and Bluetooth, which means it can even double as a computer mouse.
In the tradition of the famous penknife, the Presentation Pro also features a standard blade, some scissors and a file.
The penknife's creators believe that its unique fingerprint security feature makes it a secure way to carry information. 'It doesn't matter if you lose it, no-one can hack into your information,' said designer Martin Kuster.
The sophisticated gadget, which is expected to cost around £250 when it goes on sale next year, was unveiled yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
