I don't have an English source as of now (it might be on /. or something), but there's a picture there for you to see.

That's cool. But I'd rather have the extra space in my knife for storing different blades & utilities. And since the MP3 player is integrated into a knife that means I wouldn't be able to take it to school without getting suspended for carrying a "deadly weapon".

I'm not danish (or norwegian... dont realy see the difference) but I can read and understand that... heres a translation:
Original:
Spilleren takler det fleste av de mest kjente lydformatene, som mp3, wav, wma og OGG Vorbis, skriver PC för alla. Den har også fjernkontroll, en fm-mottaker og kan ta opp samtaler.
Det er også mulig å ta ut mp3-delen, noe som er en fordel hvis man ønsker å bruke den på flyreiser. Modellen på en gigabyte koster i underkant av 2.000 kroner.
Translation:
The player can handle most of the known sound formats, like mp3, wav, wma and OGG Vorbis, "PC För alla" writes. It also has a remote control, an fm-receiver and can answer calls.
Its also possible to take the mp3-playing part out, something that is an advantage if you wish to use it while flying. The model with one GB costs around 2000 krowns*
*about €200

There are a few more pics on the official Victorinox page:

The english version seems not yet avalaible.
I like the design of the remote, but I'm quite happy with my ipod nano.

I was going to be a smartass and ask how you listened to the music. ... Do you stick the knife in your ear? :p
