i was waiting for the box reboot and the lid to snap down on his fingers cutting them off then a nice banner popping up saying

"don't need an app for that."

That is so nifty.

It was very unclear what he did to "hack" into the box... Plugged it into a laptop... did he have to open a terminal? Or did an app autostart? It didn't look like much "hacking" was required, however.

I stopped watching when he switched to the N900 review. Anything interesting in that part?

I too found that unclear.

Yes, it appeared as though on-screen instructions suggested entering a "?" to get a menu, and from there, "connecting people" did the rest.

It was very Hollywood OS, but as a marketing gimmick sent to reviewers, that's appropriate. And it doesn't make me want one of the boxes any less. The N900 and accessories in the top section are nifty, sure, but I'd like to see what makes the box tick.

Probably used something like Hyperterminal (or Tera Term) to connect to a serial connection....

The Internal memory is not free you know, either they have it built-in or they provide an SD card, no way in hell you will get both as standard.
What's the 32GB built-in got to do with anything? The point is Nokia used a non-standard (whatever they say, it _is_ non-standard) micro-SD, not SD. The stuff they provided with that hackerbox is nearly impossible to find in a shop. With SD that wouldn't have been an issue. They could as well have left out that microSD slot altogether, it's useless as it is.
