Just thought I'd share

Adding this to the accessory guide.

If you have it or when it comes can you confirm it works?

I have it and i haven't had any problems with it but I've only got my pre sat night so just to be thorough I'll used it a bunch during the week and post back at the end of the week if I had any problems.

I've read some people using samsung wall chargers and have them be touchy with not starting the charge cycle, but i really don't think I'll have any problems but i'll give an update later this week.

Can you check if the charge time is the same?

I have heard of third partie cables being slower, not sure though.




yup, I have never used them myself, But they are great!

100 bucks hdmi cables are rip offs, The 2 things anyone needs to check for hdmi are,  there are newewer versions of hdmi, check wikipedia for the different features in each one. And weather or not it's gold plated, or silver plated, While gold plated is better, you should not pay much more, their are under 10 dollar ones that are gold plated, and the newest version.

I didn't even think about if it charges slower. The next few days i'm going to be a bit busy working a lot but by the weekend I will make time to wear the Pixi battery down to the same point twice and time how much time it takes to charge them back up. Good thinking.

Yeah before i knew better i bought some very expensive cables but know I know better lol

I've only plugged it into to my computer a few times but it let me go into USB mode with out problems both times.   I'm going to try it on some computers at work this week and laptops just to make sure it works flawlessly 100% of the time which i suspect it will.

I think the key is when you get a USB -USB Micro make sure its a 5 PIN cable.

Another member posted here he got some off newegg that were 5 pin and her has no problems either. I've read that some cables actually only have two active pins which allows for charging but not data transfers. I'm no expert, just a recurring thing i've read around the web on the cables.

Heres the other members post if you want to check it out.
