USB Universal E-mail/Webmail/IM Notifier (Gmail/Outlook/Outlook Express/POP3)

Pros: - Much cheaper than the original (which is 10 bucks more)
- Good quality build
- RGB LEDs
- Can be used in your own software in just minutes
- It's a very cool way to get notified of new e-mail when your LCD is off

Cons: - The original has 64 levels of brightness for each LED, this one has just on/off (8 combinations)
- I won't even try to install the software from the little "panda" CD that came with it... I rather wrote my own Add-in for Outlook 2007 in C# 2.0.

Other: It definitely draws attention around the office and not in a bad way.

Pros: Lets you know when you have new mail in your inbox. Can be made to work with different type of mail accounts and also with multiple mail accounts. Can display different colors based on account or number of messages. Thanx to TheHuuf's software package, it works.

Cons: The software supplied on the CD is useless and CANNOT work with this device as it is a hardware copy which dosent have the full capability of the original device.

Other: One of the most usefull gadgets I bought here on DX!

Pros: This gadget is the perfect toy for the office. All the people look it and says:Wow!. The quality is pretty good and is very easy to use it. Thanks to TheHuuf's software package, works perfect with the device. Another Pro is the price, the original notifier is more expensive and the quality of both is very similar. I preffer this one.

Cons: The software supplied on the CD is useless and CANNOT work with this device but it doesn't matter because TheHuuf's software works great. I don't find any cons to this product.

Other: I'm very happy with this gadget.

Pros: usefull to not have outlook or webmail open all the time..
blinks enough to take atention....
nice to use on your working table!
portugues:
util pra nao precisar deixar o outlook ou o webmail aberto o tempo inteiro..

Cons: the first i bought came broken.. i mean, just the green led was working..
i use the customer service and they sent me another without cost.

portugues:
o primeiro que veio, estava com problemas e só acendia o verde..
reclamei e mandaram outro de graça.. esse outro funciona todas as cores direitinho.

Other: nice to have on your office table.
when its blinking, my workmates always ask "what is that? you're such a geek!"
of course! i work in IT!!
portugues:
legal pra ter em cima da mesa do trabalho. os que nunca viram vivem pedindo "o que é isso?"
é bem coisa de quem trabalha em TI..

Pros: -The notifier works on several email platforms, but mainly only for Windows based computers. - The notifier can show up to 7 colors that can programmed to react the way you like. - Installation is pretty easy. Simply plug it to your USB port, install and setup a small program and the notifier should light up when a new mail reach your inbox. - Price is good. - Build quality is surprisingly good for the money as well. Still it is to see that it isn't a genuine product. (fake) - Package includes Manuel.

Cons: -It doesn't have all functions like the real product, but for the price it's forgiven. - The Software included is somewhat poor and doesn't cover a lot of settings you can make. Tried with XP and worked ok with Outlook Express. Still as I remember it only allowed red color to show. On Win 7 x64 it was completely useless because it never found any network throughout the install and then it just stop responding. So what to do next? Some very friendly DX customers here just worked work and created their own software who really turned this product to a truly different experience. Especially the USB Mail Notifier from TheHuuf is great. You can find link in the description.

Other: Without software created by DX costumers, this notifier would be useless for Win 7. Not only this now possible, it has added new several features you could not do with the CD included. In all I think you just need a bit more knowledge to email in how to use to the software but that's all. For me I need to have Window live mail open in order to get it light up. I guess it depends the configuration. For now I'm very happy with mine. Great DX buy!

Pros: I love this item, it works great, usb powered led with multiple color shades. You can set it up for different account such as facebook, msn messenger, email alerts, etc.

Cons: The only con was that I had to do a little digging to find a software I was happy with, for MY needs, an email / service providers.
other than that I simply love it!

Other: I highly recommend this item,It is fun, it works well, once I got the software, it was easy to set up. No issues after months of using this

Pros: Pretty. Easy to use dll in custom app: C#: using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.ComponentModel; using MailNotifierLib; namespace emailnotifier { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { eColors lampColour = eColors.NoColor; if (args.Length > 0) { int colour; int.TryParse(args[0], out colour); switch (colour) { case 1: lampColour = eColors.Lime; break; case 2: lampColour = eColors.Red; break; case 3: lampColour = eColors.Blue; break; case 4: lampColour = eColors.Aqua; break; case 5: lampColour = eColors.Yellow; break; case 6: lampColour = eColors.Fuchsia; break; case 7: lampColour = eColors.White; break; default: lampColour = eColors.NoColor; break; } } MailNotifier[] notifiers = MailNotifier.GetNotifiers(); notifiers[0].SetColor(lampColour); } } }

Cons: Very small

Other: Would recommend, excellent as cheap build status lamp for software CI servers.

Pros: Fun little USB controlled LED that can light up in 7 different colors. Good to have immediate visual notification of something on your computer. Nice soft glow inside the translucent shell. No driver needed, lots of software available in the forum.

Cons: Only 3 of the 7 colors actually look good (blue, green, white). Other colors kind of ugly. Software provided doesn't work at all (Win 7 x64), have to use software in the forum. I also compiled a control software in the forum.

Other: Nice hardware, with lots of 3rd party software available.

Pros: works perfectly with gmail account has multiple choice of check for new emails time simple and looks good, just the right size, build quality is good

Cons: Included software didn't work With forums software I only managed to work with blue color, whatever I click, it's always blue.

Other: Recommend, funny gadget, useful, you don't have to check your mail every minute because it lights up when you have to. Great gift for friends
