For those who’ve managed to avoid hearing about Celio’s REDFLY up until now, we hate that you’ve been absent for so many laughs.

One more short unboxing vid after the break.

Have you been dying to see Celio’s REDFLY Mobile Companion unboxed on video? No? Well tough, because that’s what you’re about to get. In the video — available for your viewing pleasure after the break — you’ll witness the petite, smartphone-tethering laptop get sprung from its cardboard and styrofoam prison and handled in glorious, low-res YouTube-vision. Can’t stand the Foleo-like excitement any longer? We thought so. Read on, friends.
