Oh hells yes. We've
arrived at CES in full nerd style. We sent
Moms to Atlantic City so us kids could hijack the trailer all the way to Vegas baby, Las Vegas. And in true Kojak style we parked right in front of the central hall just outside the Las Vegas Convention Center. What better base to provide the best CES 2009 coverage on the Net? Check our first pass on the show floor after the break. With roots now planted and enough gadgets to keep us busy 7 by 24... we may never go home.
Yes, we can imagine Sony's new
Vaio P-Series ultra-portable.
Stealth mode: on.
Unannounced Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-ray player under wraps and looking sleek.
Samsung's latest Direct Methane Fuel Cell (DMFC) power modules looking close to production ready (we wish).
A little bit closer.
And again.
An early
DMFC prototype first spotted back in 2007.
Powermat
promises to have its wireless charging mat on shelves for 2009. We'll see.
Another variation of the 5 charging mats they'll be showing off. Hello induction charged BlackBerry Storm.
The
Sharper Image brand is here riding on Apple's coattails. Feels kind of icky.

is the trailer really that nesesary that thing is ridiculously hudge.
Yes. It is.
If someone asks if you want a $1000 do you say no.
Ridiculously "hudge"? I'm sure there's a clever pudn in there somewhere...
Dude! They are in LAS VEGAS!
They need it for all the girls and stuff!
Uh, ya. Sure, girls. We can go with that. I keed!
Please don't feed the hudge!!
"true Kojak style"
Great :)
haha yes. the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-d-g-e
@Ziegler
Oh crap... btw i have to say thank you mate for the info, here in the EU we don't know what's going on over there, but now at least i will have a better understanding if i see a lubricant post here is Engadget around that days ;)
I wont blame though if do some kind of "mistake" like that. An Expo with the most famous p0rnstars is something that every man would like to cover or uncover :P As my brother always says "real is way better than digital" :) Now that i think of it, is almost ironic and funny that one expo is fully digital and from what i read they focus this year on 3D and the other expo is for porn. hahaha geeks dream come true :P
Btw i checked the AVN expo schedule and it would very interesting to go and see one of the contests (from scientific point of view ofc)!! They also have presentations and keynotes, now that would be a lot of fun!!
That's what she said...
It is real, right?
(Engadget reports on fakes quite often) =D
The trailer is huge! How many staff/ how much equipment did you all bring?
I can't wait. I Hope we're not dissapointed and get to see brand new shiny things.
one of the upsides/downsides of this time of year is that there is a new engadget post every 3.2056723 seconds ;) or at least, so it seems..... :D
I hate to come see engadget and see there is no new post at all... cant complain!
WOW! you guys are so lucky, I wish I could be there but I live in LA :( Wish you guys luck! :)
Hey pal....don't feel bad...I LIVE IN FREAKING LAS VEGAS AND I COULD'T GET IN!!!!
and you know what...it's the THIRD year I live here already!!!
*weeping*....i'm just gonna drive pass LV Convention center everyday staring at that bug Sony banner...LOL....>
I meant *big* referring to the banner...don't flame me...lol
@gaddelyz: It's easy, register early at cesweb.org. Say you work for some company that does something in consumer electronics. Show up with your ID and a business card (DIY off your printer) and you're in....it's not hard. I've been going for years.
Really? I can do that?
I know early registering is free and when i was asked to input company info I kinda freaked out...I wish I had shell out my guts and just go in...lol
Wouldn't they check for the company legit or not? Or can I just say I am self-employed as a private computer technician?
Give us a tour of the mobile HQ.
Yes please!
Yah, that trailer is pretty bad ass. We need a tour.
Hey, I have an original idea - a tour inside the trailer!
oh wait...
Add my vote to the list.
Give us a tour!
I'm expecting a jacuzzi and a stripper pole to be in there somewhere.
I just want to know which Photoshop-like app was used to "paint" on the logo.
> "I'm expecting a jacuzzi and a stripper pole to be in there somewhere."
Is this the old Girls Gone Wild bus? :)
Come on guys, show us what it looks like inside that thing!
There's not much to it really, the w/c has a triangular shower that's too small to use, the living room area has a couple of bolted down lazyboy recliners that are bolted down to the floor, there's a television that's suspended from the ceiling, and of course the table in the kitchenette area has banquet seating that's too tight for you to fit your gut into. I mean, it's not any different from the double wide that any of you losers live in. That is, of course, aside from you dweebs still living in your mother's basement.
Can we get an inside view of the trailer?
Seconded
third
fourthed... (if there IS such a word... or even if Not..)
try the new mac book wheel for me!
"Oh hells yeah" can't express my excitement better than that either
* "Oh hells yes"
Woo Hoo, Fart power the alternative fuel of the future... Marvelous Methane!!!
Something about the first pages of CES showing a Double wide trailer and Methane powered devices just screams REDNECK GEEK!! not sure if that's an oxymoron or not.... Heh
I'm dubious as to what sort of entertainment they want touching me.
I'm dubious as to what sort of entertainment you want them to touch you with
Wow!, can I visit your trailer? I will leaving to the Las Vegas tomorrow from Korea. It will be fun week! Yeah!
I cant imagine it has to be that big and what does the 1000 dollars have to do with it.
What's sad is, i work at sprint's BWTS Center in Vegas, and can't even get a comped ticket to go to CES, AND WERE A SPONSOR!
...rawr..
That's right, because every employee of a sponsor should have the automatic right to attend trade shows.
Is that trailer 2 separate trailers put together at location? Thats awfully long for a trailer. Hope theirs a nerd party goin on in there!
I liked Engadget when they were good, before they sold out and went "official" with their "trailers."
Meh, half kidding, I'll still be glued to the blog ;-)
The Sharper Image is still alive?
The brand is. Not the retail stores.
Engadget, like Ron Burgundy, is the balls.
Wow I always think I'm hardcore cause I read the Engadget blog, I didn't realize you guys were so big you have a TRAILER to drive you around. I guess I need to find a more obscure blog now.
Must have pics of inside the trailer.
Being owned by AOL/Time Warner certainly has its perks. I'm excited to read your coverage, and thanks for the stealth recon mission.
Judging by the first pic, it looks like engadget is breaking away from the blogosphere and expanding into the world - a really good thing.
All I have to say is - Congrats.
Have fun there, bring us some booth-babe pics.
+2 on the booth babes
Awesome. Looking forward to your coverage. As Dvorak likes to say, it's better than being there!
what? you have a dick the size of usb 2.0?
I bet it's just a press trailer with an Engadget sponsor sign along the side. Inside you'll find geeks with laptops, blogging away. Not a woman to be found.
Prove me wrong....
Well, I'll be there!
Yeah, I'll pop in from time to time as well! I can't pass up seeing them crammed like sardines in that thing!
I'm heading out on Thursday with my fancy CES badge, hope to see you guys and that insane trailer there.
Guys, its a shop'd image.......you seriously think someone would own something so gawdy? LOL
Is that where my money is going? Engadget mobile homes? I'm paying too much for this site.
I'm so jealous. I want so badly to go to a CES in my lifetime. Or just go to Vegas for work and not have to skip the convention to have fun
I've done both, a couple times at least, and let me say...you're only missing the sporadic run-in's with the girls from the Adult convention. CES is way to f'n HUGE to enjoy, it's awfully tiring (for any tech geek). And Vegas, you'll get tired of the sounds of slots after the 3rd trip.
Go to Vegas for Vegas...mixing Vegas with any other purpose besides a bachelor party is just a bad idea.
no his is the size of a proprietary port :)
Engadget as mainstream media, kinda takes some of the "arrr" out of it
Cool motorhome though, roadtrip!
That posh double wide must have some porcelain love, right?
Don't pull a cousin Eddie...
"shitter's full"
lmao j your funny.
ROFL!
Sponsored by Sprint?!
Does anyone from Sprint actually read this site and notice all the bullshit slander posted by the bloggers about their company?
Now start swinging from there nuts
Leaving for Vegas first thing on Wednesday morning...can't wait to see you there! I will have my Aspire One a Canon Digital Rebel camera and a Verizon USB727 3G modem in tow just to read Engadget...would not want to miss anything! Engadget is the greatest and there is nobody better at CES than Engadget!
Good hunting guys!
I live here in Nevada and get to teach in one of these bad boys everyday.
Can I use your wifi?
I just found out that my hotel CHARGES for wifi!
(Read: Never been to Vegas before)
I wanna see inside that trailer for sure
trailer looks awesome.... now to find a way in :)
Interesting, Panasonic hasn't moved since NAB 2008. They haven't even bothered to change their furniture.
Hot diggety!
I didnt realize Engadget had that much money. Kudos.
A double wide huh? Compensating for something? Maybe a lack of large gadgets? That's ok, CES will help you out with that I'm sure!
Ahh... that's just the MySpace angle for the trailer.
We all know it's 30 feet long and 3 feet wide. :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You got Ding Dong Ditched!
