Ok, so it’s a bit more clunky than even TOS era tricorders, but maybe they’ll have this one scaled down a bit in 300 years: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/02/070227104038.htm
Of course it’s not the first attempt to make a real Tricorder. A Canadian company made the TR-107, which offered even more Tricordery features, such as an EMF Meter, Light Meter, Weather Station, Color Analyzer, and just for good measure a “Stardate” clock/calendar function. I seem to recall reading somewhere, however, that the TR-107 is no longer in production - maybe you can find one in a dealer’s room at a Con though.

It was then the monster, who dwelled in the underworld, was blinded by a flash from the Warrior Princess' sword. Bleeding profusely as the monster lay dying it gurgled a sharp tongue within its foul mouth, the words unintelligible - but the quiver in its brow conveyed a confused "Why?" Understanding this the Warrior Princess casually wiped the creature's fetid blood from her blade and replied "Because if you haven't anything nice or useful to say, you shouldn't say anything at all." And with that the Troll expired.
