Hi there,
how many calories you burn depends
a) on your weight
b) on the exercise speed
c) on the exercise level
d) as a combination of all factors on your heart rate
For example, I at 80kg usually do about 400 cal in 27 minutes @138 heartrate :-)

The number of caloriesyou burn is dependent on your weight and how long/what speed you work at. I weigh 135 lbs. and I burn 335 calories in ahalf an hour on an elliptical.

I am looking for a machine to buy for my home that will give me a great cardio workout. Should I opt for a treadmill or an elliptical?

If a cardiovascular workout is what you want, you should get an elliptical machine. They give you a total body workout - with handle bars for your arms and pedals for your feet. You can burn a lot of calories without having a lot of heavy impact on your joints.

I have the timex fitness trainer and it is calculating my calories for a man and I need it calculated for a woman. Help!

Simple! men and women burn calories at the same rate. And the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn to conduct an excersize. And the more fat you have, the more calories you will burn from fat.
