Pocket Radar promises to be world's smallest speed radar

We've seen plenty of pocket-sized speed radar detectors, but it looks like this new so-called Pocket Radar may just be the first actual speed radar that will fit in your pocket. While you might expect that means quite a few trade-offs, the company behind it actually promises that it "forges a new standard in speed radar performance," and that it's able to track speed of everything from a fastball to race car within one mile per hour. Still no word on a price, unfortunately, but it should be available sometime this Spring -- and, of course, be on display at CES next week.

Something for Usain Bolt to keep in his pocket.

"Pro performance in the palm of your hand"...does it go Fap, Fap Fap when you turn it on?

What I want is a radar detector that looks like a pack of cigarettes that I can leave on my dash at all times.That, I would buy.

I'm sure you can fit it into a pack of cigarettes. Just cut a little hole for the sensor.

Have you got any idea how desperate smokers can get? Not a secure plan.

what does a pocket radar have to do with a pocket radar detector, they both preform 2 completely different tasks.

@SirNoDroin Well no kidding. If you have to ask, you don't get it.

@SirNoDroin
Author says 'pocket detectors already existed and now actual pocket radars do too', no need for confusion.

Great, "coming soon" to a Little League field near you. Just what we need, more tools for the annoying parents. Now they can track the speed of their 10 year olds "fastball".

This is sort of bogus. Pocket radar has been around for years. Granted it tell you FPS instead of MPH but still.

Sick, now I can use this when I go longboarding to improve my speeds.. I should be able to hit 48mph... I got going 45 before... but that's panzi stuff!

I think if you press that red button when some jackass is tailgating you, he'll probably freak out and hit the brakes.
