    People stretch it a little: a pocket-sized version of a big machine is just a much smaller copy, even if it would not actually sit in your pocket. The tone is usually practical, sometimes a bit proud of how small a thing is. It is not a rude word, though it can sound slightly if you call a serious plan pocket-sized, as if it were a toy.
