Sure, the Palm Pilot hand-held computer has sold 12 million units. It's great for keeping track of appointments and such, but you can't scan for tachyon emissions, life-forms, or hotwire it to disrupt a prison force shield ...until now.

Buy Star Trek in the USA - or Buy Star Trek in the UK

Version II of the Tricorder for the Palm Pilot has sound, animation, displays, and custom messages.

A simple touch of the scroll button lets you survey a wide variety of geological, meteorological, and biological phenomenon.

Don't leave the Alpha Quadrant without it! Tricorder is freeware - you can install it and use it with no obligation to pay over at http://www.mindspring.com/~jetton/pilot/

Don't own a Palm Pilot? Don't despair, you can get the software for your PC or Mac too.

Though it doesn't look quite as cool unless you can walk about with it in your hand looking knowing and wise as you scan your cat.

Your Mac version is here.
