Product Description:
Ambient Devices Stock Orb - Imagine if you had to go to your computer and type in your zip code whenever you wanted to check what time it was. Your important information should be as accessible as looking at a clock, now the Ambient Orb can make a variety of information just a glance away. The Orb will arrive automatically set to track the Dow Jones Industrial Average, glowing more green or red to indicate market movement up or down, or yellow when the market is calm. It can be customized to a set of free channels, such as market indices or weather in major cities. As an option, you can upgrade to access more premium channels, such as your customized portfolio. Better coverage. Wireless coverage from the Ambient Information Network covers over 90% of the U.S. population. Check if you're covered. More channels. Now track weather, pollen forecasts, instant messaging presence, and even the probability of news events with the NewsFutures' channel.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ambient Orb
I purchased two Ambient Orbs. One was faulty, and they replaced it with no problems.

One worked perfectly for a long time (doesn't seem to be working, now), and the other worked on the middle light intensity, but not on high or low intensity. Then I dropped it and broke it (about 6 months ago).

Had them for years, but don't use them now.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Product was good, but not for our area

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Item not as described!

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A good idea that disappoints
I received this as a gift a month ago, so I can't fairly gripe about the cost. But it's certainly an overpriced paperweight. I compare it to the Galileo thermometer (also a gift) it sits next to on my desk -- attractive and a conversation piece, but minimal practicality.

Cards inside the package indicates I can set displays for stock prices, today's high temperature (although the Ambient website says current temperature), weekend forecast, air quality, pollen count, and a dozen other ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - does what it says
The orb works as defined. It's usefulness is open to interpretation. Out of the box, I believe it to be an overpriced conversation piece.

The quality is not outstanding. The pager card had come loose in the one I received and was bouncing around in the orb. It worked once I reassembled it. I'm not quite sure what justifies the high price, I can only guess that it must be to subsidize the network costs.

The ambient site itself seems a little disorganized and the community ... Read More
