Pocket Radar: A Less Bulky Way to Catch Speeders

The most obvious use for the Pocket Radar—the world’s first and so far “only pocket-sized personal speed radar”—would be on the baseball field, but we’re sure automotive consumers and car enthusiasts can come up with a way to have fun with this toy.

The Doppler-based Pocket Radar is about the size of a typical cell phone and has the same accuracy of more traditional radar guns—within 1 mph, according to the manufacturer. A set of AAA batteries will get you 10,000 speed measurements.

No word on pricing just yet, but the Pocket Radar website says the device will launch in spring 2010. Check out a video of the gadget in action after the jump.
