Portable Envy is a brand of electronic devices which offload the emotion of envy (nonfiction) from the user's mind to remote storage for later upload.

Subsequently, pirate manufacturers have released knock-off circuit boards with built-in portable envy features.
Portable envy devices are popular black-market items in many prisons, despite efforts by get-tough wardens (and, in some prisons, self-regulating prisoners) to forbid ownership or use of portable envy.
