- It's good
- It only updates every half hour or so. Other than that it's great. My husband keeps it in his work truck so he can follow the market even when he's not in the office. In this market it would be nice if it updated more frequently.

- 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. - 2008-07-06, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Product was good, but not for our area
- We could not get reception sufficient to "pull in" the signal necessary for the product to work properly. There was nothing wrong with the product, unless you count the lack of signal.

- Item not as described!
- This item is not as described. The Ambient Orb, which I intended to purchase, is currently unavailable. The Market Maven is a different product from the one described in the item description. Returned for refund!

- 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 things. Neat idea. But I will have to pay a monthly fee (I get the first three months free) to use the majority of them. And the website doesn't list all of the choices I have on my cards. But it does list a choice of chances that "Bush will be re-elected." Huh? At least it correctly predicts that as zero.
The website also correctly indicates that my portfolio is up 1.25 percent on this particular day, and it indicates that my orb should be light green. However, it's been red all day, and it's been off on other days as well. Unless the accuracy improves, I won't be signing on for the monthly service. And while I initially thought this would be a great gift idea for someone else, that won't be happening unless I see significant improvements. - 2006-02-09, 8 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
