It appears that there are two devices if you don't count the case color and 
the software bundle.  The ColorMunki Create is a color meter (monitor only) 
that has a software package between what you get with a Huey and what ships 
with the EyeOne Display Lt.  So the price point is lower than the Lt but more 
than the Huey.

The Other ColorMunki models (Photo - black case and Design - white case) are 
photosprectrometers.  One web site that had been involved in preprodution 
testing says that they are "based on EyeOne technology".   If this is true 
than it might not be too difficult to add support since it might be possible 
to leverage the existing EyeOne Pro code base.  I found one web site that 
already has the ColorMunki Photo discounted to $449 from the MSRP of $499.  I 
expect that as these become more common that there will be additional 
discounts and that these might drop down near $400 and may go even lower on 
occation.
