We’ve seen our share of pocket-sized speed radar detectors, but the new Pocket Radar might be the first that could actually fit in your pocket. Or in the palm of your hand. Of course there are some trade-offs for the size.

Still, the company says that it “forges a new standard in speed radar performance,” and supposedly it can track the speed of everything from a fastball to race car within one mile per hour. We can only take their word for it.

I can think of a few uses for a radar gun around the house. For instance, I would like to see exactly how fast that teen girl flies up my street as she sends a text message. It would also be cool to see how fast the kids can ride their bikes down the hill out front. A new gadget called the Pocket Radar has been announced that will let you do these things and a lot more.

Pocket Radar can be used to get the speed of any object with accuracy to one mile per hour. The working range of the device is a full mile. The manufacturer says that NASCAR fans can even use the radar from the stands to see how fast their favorite driver is going.
