User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I should have done this a year ago!!!
I recently purchased the spyder2 express to calibrate my ibook monitor. WOW what difference it made. I have used several shareware calibrators and they aren’t even close. Now what I see is almost exactly what the lab prints. I wished now I had done this months ago.

5 Stars No problems
Very good color correction. I use it for photoshop editing and with lightroom. It niceley corrects the color even with the FL. sun behind me all day.

4 Stars Can’t Believe I Didn’t Do This Sooner
I have owned a lot of really nice monitors. I use an Apple MacBook Pro and have had Apple monitors and then some. I used the Spyder 2 Express to calibrate my MacBook Pro today and what a difference it makes. I always thought the default display was the way Apple set it up, so that’s the way it should be. In fact, I judged my new Dell 2408WFP monitor against my MacBook Pro display and found the Dell to be very saturated.

Now, it’s a fact that that monitor is very saturated out of the box, but looking at the uncalibrated MacBook display I thought the Dell would have to go back because it was horribly saturated. When in reality, my MacBook Pro display was simply dull and lifeless. That isn’t to say that the Dell was correct, only that the MacBook was muted and not vibrant, or contrasty in any way. I fixed that in 10 minutes with the Spyder 2. My display is now gorgeous. The colors pop, but are not saturated, the contrast is beautiful and the whole thing just seems more lifelike to me. I can’t wait to get the Spyder 2 home to work on my Dell 2408WFP which I have played with and gotten great results with, without this tool.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for more lifelike colors, better contrast and more control over the default settings from the manufacturer. The manufacturer’s settings are nothing compared to what this creates. My only problem is that this version doesn’t control Gamma and I think that’s the main issue with the Dell 2408WFP. We’ll see.

5 Stars Serial Number Help
I recently changed over from a PC to latest iMAC. Transferring software for this product I found a prompt for a serial number. However I had long since thrown the packaging. Reading general customer comments on the web I found a lot of negative press for Data Color help desk and complaint that customers could not get the serial number. However my experience was very good. I got a quick response, you just need to quote them the number on the USB plug. Calibration worked great!

5 Stars Great value, although not compatible with DUAL DISPLAYS
Cheap, quick, and easy to use (on my Mac, and until I get around to calibrating my Windows machines, I’ll assume the Windows functionality is at least as good). BE WARNED that this is only set up to do ONE MONITOR PER COMPUTER, and on a laptop it doesn’t let you choose, and of course laptop displays are not particularly suited to colour-critical applications. There are complicated ways around this, but it is simply not what this product is intended to do, and it is not a particularly well-advertised fact. That said, you absolutely get your money’s worth here: This is the same hardware as in ColorVision’s professional-level Spyder2 products, they just took some of the professional features out of the software to force pros to buy pro-level while giving everyone else an incredibly good value.

  • Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black 4th Generation




    With eight amazing colors, a new curved design, and great new features, iPod nano rocks like never before. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a playlist for you. With its built-in accelerometer, iPod nano is made to move. Give it a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your library. Turn it on its side to flip through your album art in Cover Flow. And tilt, move, and play accelerometer-inspired games (games available separately). Watching movies, TV shows, and video is even more fun on the sharp 2-inch screen. And your photos (up to 7,000 of them) look great in portrait or landscape view. Available in 8 GB and 16 GB models, the 8 GB iPod nano puts up to 2,000 songs or 8 hours of video in your pocket.

    A Musical Genius
    Say you’re listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius Playlist feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It’s like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.

    Find Your Music Faster
    It’s even easier to find the song you want to hear. Now you can view your album art in Cover Flow. Or just press and hold the Center button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the Center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist.

    Rock and Roll Over
    Tilt or turn iPod nano on its side, and you’ll listen, watch, and play in new ways. You can flip through your album art with Cover Flow. Or, vertically speaking, see more albums and artists on the screen at one time.

    Shake Your Groove Thing
    Sometimes, we could all use a little unpredictability. And now you can shake to change your music. Just give iPod nano a shake, and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You’ll always be surprised by what you’ll hear.

    Let the Games Begin
    Now you can get in on games made especially for iPod nano and the accelerometer. They respond to the way you move, so they’re immersive, addictive, and a blast. The iPod nano comes with Maze, which lets you work your way through vast mazes by tilting and moving. You can find even more games on the iTunes Store.

    Even Your Photos Rock
    Pull hundreds of photos from your pocket and share them wherever you go. Hold iPod nano upright and see your photos in portrait view. Turn the player on its side to see them in landscape. Your photos look beautiful in their proper aspect ratio on the vibrant, 320-by-240-resolution display.

    The World’s Biggest Small Screen
    Watching movies, TV shows, and videos is big fun on iPod nano. And the high-resolution picture looks crisp and vivid on the 2-inch widescreen display. So you can always have a little video with you.

    Reduced Environmental Impact
    The iPod nano embodies Apple’s continuing environmental progress. It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:

    • Arsenic-free glass
    • Brominated flame retardant-free
    • Mercury-free
    • PVC-free
    • Highly recyclable aluminum enclosure

    What’s in the Box
    iPod nano, earphones, USB 2.0 cable, dock adapter, quick start guide

    User Ratings and Reviews

    5 Stars Apple Ipod nano 16 GB
    This little device is excellent. About the right capacity for a most folks. I currently have 2 days of music (48 hours, 2 movies and 12 music videos and its only half full. The only draw back is that the screen is pretty small so you can watch about 20 minutes of video.

    4 Stars 4G 16GB ipod nano needs minor improvements
    I really enjoy this ipod nano. Several features such as Genius and Shake to shuffle. You have the option of turning these features off. Crystal screen is extremely clear with good picture quality. Some minor improvements need to be made such as the volume being audible even when you turn it all the way down. Some skipping takes place during music burning. Need an updated Itunes to make the most of this nano.

    5 Stars Apple does it again!
    I got a blue Nano as a birthday present and I absolutely love it. It’s got plenty of memory space, 9 amazing colors, and its great they went back to it’s original form. If anyone is looking for a great Christmas present for anybody this is it.

    5 Stars Great Features
    So far I haven’t got any problem with this iPod nano, looks great and works great!

    1 Star Don’t buy it!
    I misplaced my older ipod (I have since found it) and bought this tiny ipod. It is so light I had it on the edge of the sink and the weight of the cord pulled it into the water. I pulled it out in a fraction of a second and dried it off. It still operated but in the morning it was dead. What apple doesn’t do is give any warning that any moisture will destroy it right away and they have a built in moisture alarm that voids the warranty by turning red (inside the ear plug jack). I checked on-line and there are other problems with class action litigation on this model. The screen gets scratched and marred easily, and the battery does not last as advertised. Also, if you set the ipod down on its side, it goes into a display mode and you can’t adjust volume. Also if you set it down too hard in shake mode, it shuffles the song. Apple has some serious water intrusion engineering to do on this. When my old ipod wears out, I am going to another make of mp3 player.
