Optix XR/DTP94, Pulse ColorElite, Spectroline/SpectroScan discontinued per december 1st, 2006 and replaced by Eye-One Display 2, Eye-One Photo, Eye-One iO.

Profilemaker and MonacoProfiler will coexist.

The DTP-70 will also be offered (NOT discontinued).

Still going to hold onto my Lino (every few years, need to use the optional filters).

Think I'll sell my PULSE (anyone want one?). Nice product but with my i0, the EyeOne is far more useful as a multi-tasker.

Too bad about OPTIX. It was a great instrument (the EyeOne Display is no slouch).

The DTP-70 will also be offered (NOT discontinued).

DTP-70 will be discontinued, they are just waiting for the release of the iSis.

I visited the X-Rite booth today at Photokina and spoke to a former GMB rep.

Basically all X-Rite instruments will be replaced by their GMB counterparts. The second release of the iSis (expected somewhere in December) will have a removable UV cut filter.
