Victorinox SwissBeat MP3 Player 1 GB (Silver)

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.

About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.
