Nexus 7 seems to be really hard to unbox

OK... so maybe it is hard to slide the box components apart but some of these people look like idiots. Cutting the tape/sticker with a collar stay? Really? I didn't see anything odd about how it was packaged. Yet so many people struggled with even getting those two tape things off. At which point I question if they are even good (or typical) examples of the "out of box" experience. At least the guy with the huge freaking bread knife had the right idea.

It took me like 30 seconds, maybe 40, to open the box. Seriously. The two sealing strips peeled off pretty easily. The inner box was a little difficult to slide out but it wasn't "stuck". Maybe the packaging has changed since that video was made. By the way, my Nexus blows my wife's iPad 2 away. Sweet!

It's really not that hard to open. It took me maybe 30 seconds to open. I didn't really see any IO attendees struggling either.
