Unbagging is a new feature inspired by one of our favorite Flickr groups: what's in your bag? The premise is simple -- empty out your bag, arrange what's inside, and snap a photo. Engadget will be taking a look inside the bags of some of the people we know and love in the tech world, combining our two favorite pastimes of gadgetry and voyeurism. Want to be included? Send an email to unbagging [at] engadget [dot] com with your submissions!
Today's Unbagging installment comes from Peek CEO (and all around bon vivant) Amol Sarva. Clearly a man who loves the written word, you can see no less than three separate pieces of reading material here (though of course, two are made from dead trees -- do they still count?).

im liking the three peeks
I personally don't see how the Peek survives let alone pays a "CEO". Anyone who needs email that much must need a cellphone as well no? Why carry 2 devices and keep your worlds so unintegrated? I guess there must be a niche' market.
Ok, I guess 299 for lifetime email isn't bad. But, if we're talking about people who are too cheap to add on a data plan to their cell phone are they really likely to drop 300 plus tax on this?
Now if it was $1000 one time fee and included unlimited email, and 100 voice calls a month lifetime now I could see people jumping on that.
I carry a Peek, and a virgin mobile candybar phone. I have google voice forward my sms to my email and I can reply via my peek and it replies with my google number. I don't pay for texts anymore. My peek was given out at the Ellen Show so I get free service for like a year.
What is the point? Is there a priced to be won?
So that thieves know what you have in your bag, trace you down, stalk you and rob you some day.
I was thinking he'd have a pretty heavy bag, but I suppose when most of it makes up Peeks/iPods/phones/keys, then the weight's probably not bad. I can't wait to see someone with a REALLY HEAVY bag because of like, 4 laptops or something.
is the desk included?
I'm loving the items in picture 11.
why would you have grass in a bag?
I carry glass in my bag all the time. It is like my Visa card: never leave home without it!
I have to say, that was a bit unexpected.
WTF? He's a CEO?
Gotta be a little more stealth than that, should trade up to a Magic-Flight Launch Box and film canister.
Hey...That's my photo :D
well.... i do smoke a lot of "herbs"....
But I like it ^^
Hey Rich,
What's in the green box?
Looks like something i might be interested in....a vaporizer maybe?
Well, I do have a vapo...but not in the green box ^^
There are quite a few filters, rolling paper etc in there oh and the red thing is a really fat lighter from Thailand... ^^
But God, Switzerland's Weed is the best!
why would you use a metal slide on a glass on glass bong?
My Glass slide broke and that was the day that i took the picture. The Next day i got a shiny new one :D
Pick me! Me me me!
With all that gadgetry, I know a few things the CEO might not necessarily need to carry around...................The peeks

*Halo 3 teabaggin joke*
I would think for the CEO of a company that talks about how its' product is so much better than paying for several different phone contracts (ie that Walkman, the Pre) that he'd go solely Peek only.
Well he does need a phone. You know, that makes like, calls and stuff.
Truth but why not just go with one of the free nokia phones all of the carriers give away for signing up.
@ Chris: Well then he wouldn't look like a CEO.
Peeks are great if you want SMS on the cheap. They just need a stable phone number to SMS too from other phones, then they would be perfect SMS machines.
Seriously? Richard's bag...white trash.
Who's to say Richard is white?
Hahhahaha
Hey man.... Yes I'm white..... But it doesn't really matter to me if a stoner is white, black, purple or even green.(or high)... It just doesn't matter..... I didn't even expect my photo to be chosen ^^
Why so many Peeks. Does he hand them out in lieu of tips at restaurants?
Richards bag > your bag
:D Thanks... I didn't even expect it to be published ^^
See Amol, if Peek somehow got PMP capabilities...that would be one device less for you to carry =P
I
lolz. I carry only THREE things with me, every single day:
- iPhone
- Wallet
- Keys
Never do I take a man purse.
Nice X61.
Lenovo rocks the house
Thinkpads are all about sex. T400 and I sex all day. No fapping involved however.
I make sweet love to my X61T all-day-all-night, too! It swivels and I lose my mind every time...
I love to work it's trackpoint
Reminds me of a toy that should be filled with gum. What a POS. Do they actually sell these things?
Lovin' the Filson.
Man, Charles is prepared for anything. Carrying a spare router? Wtf?
I end up spending a lot of times in datacenters, and in places with less than stellar networks with a bunch of engineers, rather than fighting for the 1 ethernet jack I just carry a WRT and doll out the network access to everyone around me with the SSID and passphrase...
Richard is definitely the most prepare packer
Correction.
Richard is definitely the most prepared "slacker".
Thumbs-up Richard. I'll bring the Dorito's.
:D Thanks....oh and the Doritos wouldn't be bad ^^
Is that a white Peek I see?
Note to Richard: Burton sells a 420 kit. You can keep all your necessities in a nice little "crush proof" case. No more broken pipes bro. It's not just for the slopes either.
