This in intriguing and highly specialized. I am curious: why use this product over a mobile phone camera and eye-dropper tool? I'll search for reviews and more explanation, but there are some experts here on Massdrop, so let's leverage the community. As a hobbyist intrigued by technology I like this tool, but I see a simpler solution in my back pocket. :)

dpflanUsing a camera and eye dropper tool gives results that are impacted by lighting conditions as well as the auto exposure and auto white balance systems of the camera. This device should take more accurate color readings since it provides all of the illumination of its subject.

stowbari@stowbari - Thanks for the explanation. The self-contained illumination is the key here. I imagine there could be a peripheral device made for a mobile phone that could achieve the same results as this. I do enjoy the simplicity of this product though.
