Step 2 - opening the box

Bone arrived today with DHL and 17 euros custom's tax !
I don't know how custom manage to compute 17 euros taxes since HDX declare 55 $ value ! 
Must be some hidden cost with the VAT.
The good surprise is the mini usb adaptator, that was not delivered with previous model. No a big deal in term of cost but not so easy to find. This is usefull to connect keyboard for android.
Now i need a hard drive to put in the Bone.
I've just order the WD scorpio blue at Amazon 60 Euros.
Until i receive it i will only be able to test the network feature of the bone.
I've quickly test during lunch time at work using a poor video projector and coaxial output (576p).

System is clear and responsive, network share is quite easy to setup with the virtual keyboard.

At this time Bone have read all kind of media I've tested.

So far so good will do heavier testing at home.
