D5 conference report: Swag out the wazoo

Two bags full, and a windbreaker too. Play the vid to see the contents.

I'm at the D5 conference, the one put on by the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. It's a high-end schmoozefest, and like many executive conferences of its type, all attendees are presented with "goodie bags" filled with conference sponsors' promotional items when they check in.

I've seen overflowing goodie bags before, but nothing like this. In fact, the D5 bag is actually two bags, one of which is a very nice Timbuktu backpack. For my report, see the video.

I'll be reporting on the happenings here from the conference ballroom and the demo rooms. There's a big Palm announcement coming up. We also have a reporter here specifically to cover the much-anticipated Gates/Jobs joint interview tomorrow. Stay tuned for more.

It's SWAG Dork. ;)

Souvenirs, Wearables and Gifts.

Get it right!

And, if you want to show something to us, you might hold it still
for at least a second in front of the camera, otherwise we get a blur
or miss the frame completely. :)

I prefer tchotchkes

I think it could go either way. All I know is that schwag is dirt weed.
