Boys have always liked their toys, and this has never been as true as it is today, where people have more free time than ever before. They say the devil makes work for idle thumbs, and gadgets and technology have (arguably) kept males out of mischief better than anything else you can buy. Here are 3 of the latest and greatest boys toys to hit the market, and any men reading will likely want to get their hands on them straight away.

Swiss Army Phone. Cell (mobile) phones have evolved beyond recognition of the last 10 years and boast some pretty impressive features these days. That said, a Korean phone is set to take this one step further and add a whole lot more physical tools also.  According to the makers it will include a knife, bottle opener, pen, compass, scissors and even an electric razor, making them ideal gifts for men.

Glass Cleaning Robot. Very few men enjoy doing housework or cleaning the car, which is why any gadget that will do it for them is very popular. This gravity defying robot secures itself to glass via vacuum suckers and has sensors on it that make it change direction when it runs out of glass. This means that you can leave it alone and it will clean the whole piece of glass using rotating cleaning brushes. The robot is only about the size of a computer mouse, so it’s a perfectly portable little thing. These gadgets also make great gifts for her, because let’s face it, women like to be lazy sometimes as well.

2-Way Video Shades. Shades that have mini TV screens in them, allowing you to watch videos or play games without a TV have been around for a little while now. What is a new invention thorough, are glasses that not only have internal monitors, but have outwardly-pointing monitors as well.This comes in very handy when in a class room or a meeting when you want to watch a bit of TV without anyone knowing. You can watch The Simpsons on the screens pointing inwards and project a video of your eyes, alert and blinking to everyone on the outside world. Genius!

The last time I had my grandpa for a couple of days here in the city I’ve been living in the past couple of years, he was tormented with the thought he had forgotten his knife at home. He just couldn’t imagine how in earth he’d manage to live a day or two without it, even if he was aware of the fact that chances were pretty high for him to not even touch the damn knife.

He didn’t try to calm down, instead he kept complaining of not having the knife up until he practically drove me crazy. However, if I can’t understand the utility of such thing, there are probably many among you that find a pocket knife very useful.

So, for those of you who think that I am wrong, here you have some details about the latest Victorinox Swiss Army knives. Called the SwissFlash 16GB Laser Pointer, the knife is a mixture between the elements that you usually find within a Swiss Army knife, and I’m talking about a blade, a nail file with screwdriver, scissors and a key ring.

In addition, as a novelty, you can also enjoy the benefits of a removable USB flash drive, a laser pointer and a retractable ball point pen. You just couldn’t ask for more, right?

Except maybe for a lower price, as it costs pretty much, if you ask me, even for a Swiss Army Knife. The SwissFlash can be purchased for the hefty price of $145. I told you it was expensive, didn’t I?
