I bought recently a Colorvision Spyder2express, some win tests done, 
Yan Ke ( http://www.yan-ke.com/spyder/ )  is working on a driver.

Reason for this email is that a large part of the device interface i
expect can be handeled by the SANE backend api. Using this can speed up
development for color meters a lot.

The frontend programs like LPROF, ARGYLL using the SANE API are then
able to get the data from the color meters.
(each different color on screen is a scan for the color meter).
