Engadget arrives at D7!

You know you're at the D conference (hosted by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher of All Things D) when you're chilling in the lobby of the Four Seasons and Woz and his wife peel up on tandem Segways. Yeah, it's going to be that kind of party. We're live on the ground at D7, and you can expect some pretty interesting coverage from us this week, including liveblogs of keynotes from Palm's Jon Rubinstein, Steve Ballmer, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo of Nokia, and Mike Lazaradis from RIM. For now, though, we're going to soak in some of these beautiful rays and try to get a game of Segway polo going. A few more pics after the break.

They should have let him do Dancing with the Stars on his Segway in a tux. I'd have voted.

Woz's wife? WOOF!

[krische Posted May 26th 2009 5:55PM]

haha, that was awesome. Is it just me or does steve wozniack seem much more personable than steve jobs?

[Bandigolo Posted May 26th 2009 6:03PM]

who is that heffer? His wife??? I thought Woz was banging out Kathy Griffin?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 6:04PM]

@lawyer bird

Seriously. How is that an upgrade from Kathy Griffin? Or is he so off-putting that even billions of dollars won't get hot chicks anywhere near him?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 6:39PM]

@Schnapple


sometimes a billion dollars just isn't enough.

[midiwall Posted May 26th 2009 6:56PM]

@bandigolo: "Janet Hill"

Kathy Griffin was just a friend, kinda' fell apart last year.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 9:29PM]

I think it's extremely clear that Woz has no hotness detecting devices.

[cagrinogmailcom Posted May 26th 2009 5:26PM]

Meh, donkey polo when I was in college was much better.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:28PM]

nerd version of a country club? studio 54? i want in.

[insky Posted May 26th 2009 5:30PM]

What happened to the other posts about the X Box at E3?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:35PM]

Wow, you guys get to go to all the cool stuff and events, I swear...
I'd KILL for a job like yours.
*Raises a glass* To Engadget!

"Yeah, it's going to be that kind of party."

This involves mashed potatoes, doesn't it?

[Joshs Red Pants Posted May 26th 2009 5:45PM]

Yes, but at least you know going in so that you don't have any regrets!

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:53PM]

Let's hope nobody sticks their dick in them.

[Twanzio Posted May 26th 2009 7:22PM]

I hear Woz is makin' with the freak freak.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:35PM]

YOU FORGOT ROGER MCNAMEE from Elevation Partners.
He is the man!

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:40PM]

Here. Let's enjoy his greatest hits once again before the big show!!!!!!!!:

I love Woz so much it hurts

[axemachine Posted May 26th 2009 5:43PM]

I like Woz too but for health sakes he should be walking instead of being a poster boy for Segway and the fat-ass US culture. I understand he wanting to keep the "techno-nerd" creed but he should focus on taking better care of himself instead.

[ash chapman Posted May 26th 2009 5:54PM]

I think what axemt is saying is that the Woz also loves himself so much it hurts.

[Sofabutt Posted May 26th 2009 5:45PM]

What a douchebag.

[To Hell Posted May 26th 2009 5:43PM]

I know this isn't the nicest thing to add but each time i see a photo of Woz i think he would benefit greatly from a gastric band.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:44PM]

It's funny that you have to say 'so-and-so' from 'company such-and-such' in the case of many of these folks (not SB, of course).... tells us just a little bit about their impact on popular culture.

Not saying it's good or bad, just making an observation, that's all.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:46PM]

Haha! Unlike Steve Ballemer, Engadget has to remind their readership of who Olli-Pekka Kalashnikov is, because he's an unknown NOOB!

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:53PM]

Maybe to the uneducated

[Bandigolo Posted May 26th 2009 6:11PM]

Oh yes, Walrus. Olli-Pekka Kalashnikov ranks right up there with the likes of Einstein and Lincoln. He's the first person our children read about in schools.

asshat.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 5:59PM]

Since your sister site Joystiq made such a stink out of paid Junkets a few weeks ago, I wonder who is paying for you to stay at the Four Seasons to cover this event. I'm sure it's your own company, but certainly not out of the reporters pocket.

[LauraJuneTopolsky Posted May 26th 2009 7:20PM]

We don't do junkets either. Anywhere we are, Engadget pays its own way.

[PhoenixFox Posted May 26th 2009 6:04PM]

GSM pre announcement?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 6:07PM]

What a pimp.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 6:09PM]

Segways suck.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 9:23PM]

Didn't realize they made a Segway vacuum?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 6:35PM]

Woz looks like he's lost some weight.

Good on him.

[peepeeland Posted May 26th 2009 6:45PM]

In that first pic, Woz is all, "Hey, girlfriend!"

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 7:16PM]

Josh How about a picture of the team?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 7:19PM]

So has Woz given up on walking altogether?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 7:29PM]

WOZ UUUUUPP!

[Gregorian Posted May 26th 2009 7:31PM]

Did he ride the Segway into the elevator up to his room?

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 9:23PM]

I thought Segways had a weight limit

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 8:10PM]

So do they have any pool/Health Club staff still? I worked at a Four Seasons up until recently and they're the first to go - they let everyone go there and apparently also did so at the Vancouver one... so much for being all "about the people" as they love to claim lol

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 9:48PM]

send the fatty to a fat camp alreadyy for god's sakes

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 10:06PM]

I just could picture those two having wild sex...probably requires a lot of grease.

[(Unverified) Posted May 26th 2009 10:26PM]

Dude, Woz totally stole my friend Lori's segway. He and lori bought segways in Atlanta post FIRST 2008, and woz brought them back but he broke it while playing srgway polo. so lori never got it back.

[(Unverified) Posted May 27th 2009 1:56AM]

Hey ... there's a UFO in that last pic!

[(Unverified) Posted May 27th 2009 9:01AM]

Looks like great fun, and what a view! Wish we were there.

[Leicaman Posted May 27th 2009 11:03AM]

Watch out for the late night break-ins at the Four Seasons. The battle going between the local managers and the Four Seasons corporation (owned party by Bill Gates) is really turning that place into a soap opera. But tip they guys parking your car well.

And don't forget to tip the tall Croation waiter Vladimir. He's one cool dude.

[DJManoloco Posted May 28th 2009 12:23PM]

Is that Rob Reiner in the Segway? 8)
