are there any current reviews/ Has reliability improved?

I guess the new version is supposed to be better constructed...I am on my 3rd old version and don't expect it to last more than 6 months...I won't buy the new version until it is out for a while...

The press said so with the Nikefuel band SE! It also has a couple of extra functionalists (eg tracking of activities, it will light up it you are not moving for too long, etc)

They have actually just updated the app and surprisingly it got a lot more user friendly and accurate! I had mine for several month now, never regretted buying it!

I'm on my 3rd one going on 4. My wife is also on her third. I really want our money back. It falls apart too. Save your money.

I got mine August. 2012 and it malfunctioned after 10 months. Nike replaced it without any problem and my new one has been working really well. When I ride my bike, I tie it to my leg so I still get credit for exercising. I wear the fuel band 24/7 and it really keeps me on track of my activities.

I'm quite interested in this model, now due out in just a couple weeks. Has anyone yet seen a review of it?

To be honest, I have not found these to be particularly reliable, and am on my third one in a 2 year time period. If you decide to get another one, purchase a 3rd party warranty along with it. Also, make sure it is in sleep mode when you're not using it.

Hi, I ordered one not more than a month ago and did infact receive Revision A03 ( as advertised ). And yes, for me the bugs were fixed i.e. unacceptable back-light bleeding, ghosting etc.

does anyone know if the ones here on amazon are the latest revision (with the wake from usb issue fixed?)

So far it's been pretty smooth...any time it's looked jagged, it's been a connection speed issue more than the camera. I agree with a previous answer, if you're looking for something with a lot of movement, there's probably a better camera out there, but for basic Skype, etc, I've been really happy with it!

The short answer is pretty well. I purchased this device after a total failure of my DoBro. That prior device worked well for a year or so and then it decided it wanted to operate very slowly and then it just failed. This AMS Venus has been working well (i.e., as you would expect). I have been testing with large loading and backups to make sure it will be reliable before I put all of my data onto it. So far, so good. I don't completely trust it yet; however I have had no issues at all and I've been using it for about 5-6 months. Other tid bits: It is connected via USB2 and is not the fastest external drive and is much louder (it has two fans that make more noise) than my prior device. I keep this device in my office so the noise aspect is anoying, but not a deal breaker. Overall (and currently) I'm satisfied with the device and the way it operates.

I got mine used from an owner that used it for heavy mining and gaming, and it has been cool and quiet. It's exhibited no artifacts, so I'd say it's reliable. The MSI version in particular has solid build quality.

Yes, although there have been some updates to the controller, I believe. Minor in the grand scheme, but I would look into if you're hoping for the absolute latest.

I don't think its unreliable, this technology has been around for quit a while now...what that being said, you get what you paid for, so if your not looking to buy the latest and greatest, then the best picture/sound quality isn't of your concern. So for the price its a good buy.

I haven't had any problems with mine, so far and I've had it for quite a while.

I have had it since October with no issues at all. I must say that a BIOS update was needs because there were some throttling issues, and I consider unacceptable fiddling with a brand new out of the box new GPU BIOS. But beyond that I haven't had any problems. Probably some production batches were faulty and hence people having issues with it, maybe I was lucky. So far my experience with this card has been great, but that's just me.

John- Their software updates helped, so the newer units aren't too bad compared to the first generation. I'm still looking forward to the next round of software upgrades though!

None as of yet. All is working well. I was concidering going to Mountain Lion, but after reading the reviews, I don't think so.

Yes, correct. After my purchasing this unit, my colleague has bought two. One unit failed within a week. The other has been working well. I must say that after upgrading my laptop's BIOS the issues have gone. So, most likely the drive itself is not really unreliable. So, my advice to anyone experiencing problems is to check for BIOS upgrade, especially if upgrading to Windows 8.

No regrets here; mine works fine. I can't say about customer service as I have had no problems.

Yes, see Gary and LIz answers. I have found the quality to be quite good and reliable.
