As much as I love modern-day technology and the comforts it brings, there are instances when I do miss those times when everything was simpler, and when pens are nothing but pens. But then again, with the number of electronic devices people handle each day, I suppose something like this 4 in 1 mini pen has its uses. You see, aside from being a pen, it's also equipped with a tip which can be used as a stylus for your touch screen devices-- PDAs, smartphones, cell phones, and multimedia devices included, of course.

If you need to write something down, just pop the stylus end off of the device and the ballpoint end comes to view. At the opposite end, there's a red laser pointer which I assume is supposed to be used in presentations, as well as a bright white LED light for your everyday, er, lighting needs. For ten bucks, it's not too bad considering you do get a number of functionalities in one device--you can even choose among the black, red, and blue variations.
