Closer than Ever (unboxing video)

wirefly wants to entice you all to get the gadget thru them. this unboxing video is a trojan horse... :)

and these unboxing videos are just waaaay too dramatic. back in the day we only wanted to see the phone/gadget and what accessories it had. now we care about how to open the box and how the box looks? :rolleyes:

I actually like their unboxing/review videos. They did a fantastic Inspire video review, with bunches of benchmarks run.

Doesn't mean I would buy from them, but they do provide a free service to us with this video. About time we saw an outfit actually get one outside CES and MWC.

Another thing he said that concerns me is that he said you can use the mini-USB port to get a "trickle charge" but I could have sworn the Xoom manual states to only use the USB port for data and NOT to charge thru it.
This is what is says in the Xoom manual found online:


Caution: Use only the charger that came with your
tablet when charging your tablet. Do NOT attempt to
connect a charger to the USB port. The USB port is
used for data transfer only, NOT for charging.

I would NOT listen to this guy regarding the USB port and trickle charging!
