Add these. I use them often. They're on the two Swiss Army knives I carry every day:
- small scissors
- pliers
- both kinds of screwdrivers
- tweezers
- sharp knife.
Also add:
- video/audio recorder.
Please Remove "Bottle opener/corkscrew".
Thank you.

I had a similar list done recently: http://www.istudioweb.com/what-is-it-that-i-want-2007-07-31/
Luckily, the HTC Advantage (AKA Athena) answers pretty much 70% of it.

ooh, i love it! especially the thermometer -- i hope it works for taking your internal basal temperature as well as external :)
mine needs one final function, though: the ability to find itself when you lose it. maybe it could come when called?

I'll take one that cleans the house and cooks the meals! Or at least orders meals for me.
