Comments about Jobo Jobo Spectator 40 GB Digital Images Solution, Copy, Store, View & Present:

I bought the first unit inJune of 2009. First trip out to Arches National Park - unit froze, would not download to laptop. I tried 2 different laptops with different operating systems(windows / Vista), the files displayed were gibberish. I contacted the warranty dept. at Jobo and after weeks of no communication finally got a response that the unit was "corrupted". Repeated emails as to the status of repair were not returned. I finally wrote to the VP of CustomerRelations with the German parent company and curiously, got an email back from the US Cust. Svce department- saying that a new unit was on it's way to me. The 80GB units had been on back order. Recieved the second unit and just tried to copy a simple file, I now find pictures of somebone's baby ( not mine!) already on the supposed "New" unit. Unit will still not copy. I have given up on this product. Best use? Can't think of one. After 6 months dealing with Jobo on the previous issue, I am not willing to endure another 6mos. dealing with this latest fiasco. Look elsewhere
