I bought the PQI U172 about a month ago so I’m a bit slow in getting this review out. My apologies. I originally picked one up just because running all the websites I do and doing all the traveling I do I need a truly portable backup for my site files. Servers crash and hard drives fail.

As well as bomb-sniffing and bomb disposal equipment, the VIPeR can carry an Uzi machine-pistol or plant a grenade. The weapons would be aimed using an onboard video camera.
