1.Do you know if one could possibly update software at later stage from
Spyder Express to say Syder 2 Suite or even Spyder pro since it seems
as if all use the same spyder device?
Yes, upgrades are available direct from ColorVision.
2.Can one select "Native" gamma and white point temperature using
Spyder 2 Suite or spyder Pro software/
Not native gamma, as a monitor's response curve is not likely to even be gamma shaped (let alone balanced channel to channel), and needs adjustment. But yes, native whitepoint can be selected in Spyder2 and Spyder2PRO.
3.can one manually select his own white and black point luminance
settings in the calibartion process using Spyder express? what about
spyder Pro?
Yes, one can define target white and black luminance values in Spyder2PRO (assuming your monitor has controls to adjust these functions) and use the Spyder and software to tune to those values. Express does not do this, though you can preset your B&W choices in advance of using Express, to whatever you choose.
