Galaxy Note 2 stars in LeBron promo, or is it vice versa?

The Galaxy Note 2 is slowly making its way to North American buyers, so what better way to promote the gigantic phone than by associating it with the gigantic basketball player that’s LeBron James?
That’s apparently exactly what Samsung Mobile USA thought too, and the company has prepared a Galaxy Note 2 clip starring LeBron to be released on YouTube just in time for today basketball event – in case you don’t know, the NBA season starts today, with LeBron to receive his first ever championship ring.
The Galaxy Note 2 commercial, entitled “LeBron’s Day with the Samsung Galaxy Note II” is almost two minutes long and shows LeBron in a variety of instances in which the Galaxy Note 2 can be used. And according to the script it happens apparently all today.
While we won’t spoil it for you, we will tell you that those special edition Nike sneakers he’s wearing today to celebrate that first ring are also part of the story.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 video shows 50 minutes of connecting devices

If you happen to have a Galaxy Note 2, or are planning to purchase a Galaxy Note 2 and have any questions about which USB devices will work when plugged in — this video will probably give you the answer. The video, which we can only describe as being epic, is 50 minutes long and shows everything from game controllers, to keyboards and mice, to USB hard drives, to memory card readers and much more being connected.
Anyway, while the video is on the longer side, there are lots of time codes and shortcuts listed, so for some, you can probably avoid having to watch the whole video. For example, those curious about a USB keyboard with a trackpad can skip to the 5:34 mark and see how the keyboard works and the trackpad even has support for multitouch gestures.
Otherwise, while the vast majority of the items do not require root in order to work, there were a few that did. Those items were clearly noted in the video. And for some, the usefulness may vary. For example, a 2TB external hard drive was recognized, however it needed to be plugged into external power and took some time before the files were viewable.
Bottom line here, while a wide variety of devices are able to be connected, the usefulness and amount of before-hand preparation seem to vary.
