US Modular shoves a pen and flashlight into its Handy Drive

We've seen some fairly multifaceted flash drives in our day, but US Modular's Handy Drive gets bonus points for including two things that actually are, well, handy. Aside from looking like your run-of-the-mill jump drive with a keyring on it, this unit sports a built-in flashlight and ink pen for those times when carrying around a Bic / Maglite combo just isn't feasible. With capacities ranging from 128MB all the way up to 4GB, this could be the perfect gift for that "tool guy" who already owns the entire Craftsman collection, and prices start at just $19.99.

Now that's pretty stinkin' sweet. I've got a cheap Kyocera candy-bar phone with an LED light on it, and it's been the handiest feature on the phone. I really want the new KRZR, but I don't know if I can live without my LED phone. Maybe this'll help the transition ;-)

I have that same phone and yeah, thats the handiest feature on a phone ever.

The Sony Ericsson k750i has one and it's really bright =)

They should really make a Maglite flashdrive that is the same size as a mini Maglite, but only needs one AA battery instead of two, and the place where the second battery normally is would house a retractible USB drive.
