PDA based translator for field use
The Douglas Adams' classic The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy features an amazing creature called a 'Babel fish' that once placed inside the ear, translates all incoming languages allowing the protagonist Arthur Dent to converse freely with aliens around the galaxy long after the Earth has been destroyed by the Vogons to make way for a hyperspace-bypass.

We put in a set of batteries when we were photographing Bushnell's new Speedster and couldn't believe how much fun we had. The Speedster is capable of telling you how fast someone is bowling a cricket ball or serving a tennis ball, anywhere in the range from 20km/h through to 175 km/h and for larger objects, such as a person running, riding a pushbike or motorcycle, or driving a car, the Speedster is accurate all the way through to 320km/h, and not necessarily with them coming directly at you - the Speedster will operate at up to a 45 degree angle and is accurate within one km/h.
