Engadget's new double-wide HQ rolls in to Vegas

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.

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.

[GeekPI Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:43PM]

Being owned by AOL/Time Warner certainly has its perks. I'm excited to read your coverage, and thanks for the stealth recon mission.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:49PM]

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.

[blueskyv201 Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:49PM]

Have fun there, bring us some booth-babe pics.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:52PM]

Awesome. Looking forward to your coverage. As Dvorak likes to say, it's better than being there!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:52PM]

what? you have a dick the size of usb 2.0?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2009 7:57PM]

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....

[Laura June Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:15PM]

Well, I'll be there!

[VeronicaBelmont Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:36PM]

Yeah, I'll pop in from time to time as well! I can't pass up seeing them crammed like sardines in that thing!

[serg2299 Posted Jan 5th 2009 8:02PM]

I'm heading out on Thursday with my fancy CES badge, hope to see you guys and that insane trailer there.

[eflyersteve Posted Jan 5th 2009 8:13PM]

Guys, its a shop'd image.......you seriously think someone would own something so gawdy? LOL

[UTBrian Posted Jan 5th 2009 8:12PM]

Is that where my money is going? Engadget mobile homes? I'm paying too much for this site.

[Scratic Posted Jan 5th 2009 8:33PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:34PM]

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.

[kaimonkey Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:18PM]

no his is the size of a proprietary port :)

[john Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:45PM]

Engadget as mainstream media, kinda takes some of the "arrr" out of it

Cool motorhome though, roadtrip!

[jfalkingham Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:49PM]

That posh double wide must have some porcelain love, right?

Don't pull a cousin Eddie...

"shitter's full"

[Bash2cool Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:53PM]

lmao j your funny.

[Luppers Posted Jan 5th 2009 9:55PM]

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

[Common Sense Posted Jan 5th 2009 10:41PM]

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!

[kisai Posted Jan 5th 2009 10:52PM]

I live here in Nevada and get to teach in one of these bad boys everyday.

[HOTSax2012 Posted Jan 5th 2009 11:08PM]

Can I use your wifi?
I just found out that my hotel CHARGES for wifi!

(Read: Never been to Vegas before)

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 7th 2009 2:10AM]

I wanna see inside that trailer for sure

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2009 1:28AM]

trailer looks awesome.... now to find a way in :)

[outlaw240 Posted Jan 6th 2009 2:41AM]

Interesting, Panasonic hasn't moved since NAB 2008. They haven't even bothered to change their furniture.

[Imran Posted Jan 6th 2009 5:20AM]

Hot diggety!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 6th 2009 8:52AM]

I didnt realize Engadget had that much money. Kudos.

[ocdavid Posted Jan 6th 2009 2:07PM]

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!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 7th 2009 12:40AM]

Ahh... that's just the MySpace angle for the trailer.

We all know it's 30 feet long and 3 feet wide. :)

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 11th 2009 12:17PM]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You got Ding Dong Ditched!
