 Do not update the pen Dec 29, 2008
By Cameron
"Cameron"
We bought the delux version of the Smart Globe for my 7 year old son and it's a wonderful educational toy. However, do not update the pen via the USB connection of your computer. In our case, the pen failed during the update process and is not operational any more. when I tried to return it to Costco for a replacement, I found out that Costco does not carry the Smart Globe any more!

 Finally a globe that can be updated via the Internet--least of its features Nov 22, 2007
By Erol Esen
This is a fantastic product. I haven't even used the USB capability to update the magic wireless wand that comes with this globe. Yet, my four-year old knows where the United States of America and Turkey are. She simply points the wand on the globe and listens to it speak the name of the country that is pointed at.
I was hoping I could find a globe covered in OLED that changed its graphics as the World changed. I think that's about ten years into the future for a reasonable price as this product is, and I wouldn't be surprised if Oregon Scientific creates it.

 Great Fun - but just one thing!! Jan 11, 2008
By Cynthia A. Walker-kennedy

Just found out today from Oregon Scientific that the SmartPen is not compatible with DELL computers because DELL has not updated their drivers for the globe. This prevents you from updating your pen. There is a "fix" in the works but no timeframe as to when it will be completed.
Otherwise the kids love playing with this globe!

 WASTE of $$$$ DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK! Jan 02, 2010
By SpinnerCat
"SpinnerCat"
Like many reviews before me, we purchased this globe for our 7 year old from Costco. At first it was great, worked fine and was very entertaining and educational. We plugged it in using the ac/dc (with batteries still in the unit...who wouldn't do that!?) and loaded the software and went to sync up the pen with our computer. CRASH...the globe is now completely inoperable. Could be the ac/dc or the software, or both that caused it to fry. We purchase it at Costco and they do not carry it anymore. We emailed tech support at Oregon Scientific to no avail. DO not buy this junk. Now we have a VERY expensive plastic globe. NOT HAPPY!

Education great, customer service not Apr 30, 2008
By W. Jewett
My son was all over this globe and spitting back facts like a Rhodes Scholar until we decided to update the information. It failed and after 5 months, numerous emails, and two unanswered and one completed calls to support, the pen is still totally inoperable with no solution in sight.
