Nowadays, people are constantly on the move. In
an increasingly mobile world, people rely more and
more on personal navigation products as a vital
tool to facilitate mobility. With illuminated maps and
voice-guidance systems, personal navigation prod-
ucts are a natural transition to paperless naviga-
tion. Getting directions has never been so stress-
free. GPS (Global Positioning Systems) navigation
systems give you spot-on navigation, wherever you
are and are as easy to use as a mobile phone. And
if you need to re route your journey – to avoid con-
gestion, road work or traffic accidents – GPS navi-
gation systems can do this for you automatically.

Can you imagine a 2" Swiss Army Knife with a USB
(Universal Serial Bus) memory stick? Swissbit
Group imagined it and created the SwissMemory
USB Victorinox.
The SwissMemory USB Victorinox looks like a tra-
ditional 2" Swiss Army Knife except it is a little
thicker and weighs 34 grams. It comes with the
usual knife, scissors, screwdriver and
nail file. What makes it unique is
that it is available with a de-
tachable 256MB, 512MB, or
1GB memory stick with a
high speed USB 2.0
Controller. But wait,
there is more! The
SwissMemory USB Victorinox also
contains a ball-point pen, a red LED light,
safety cap and key ring. It also comes with a
Swissbit SwissMemory lanyard, USB extension ca-
ble, and CD with driver and manual in Chinese,
English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and
Spanish. Here are some other SwissMemory USB
technical specifications:
- Reads at speeds up to 8MB and writes at speeds
up to 7MB
- Red LED indicator is on when idle and blinking
when transferring data
- Ten years data retention
- Mass storage class controller
- On the fly error correction with automatic bad
block management
- USB bus powered (4.4 - 5.25 Volts)
- Two years full warranty on USB parts and a life-
time warranty on the knife
Carry the SwissMemory USB Victorinox on the lan-
yard around your neck, on a key chain, in your
pocket, purse, or briefcase. When traveling, detach

Knife to avoid airport security check problems.
There is also a SwissMemory USB Flight Version
that contains the SwissMemory USB, ball-point
pen, and a red LED light.
