What devices are in my bag?

A few years ago, someone started the rumor that if you ask me what devices are in my bag, I will pull them out and show them to you.  Even if they are prototypes.  This is mostly true.  I am sometimes barred from showing some prototypes … but if I can, I will show you what I am using and/or testing on any given day.

Xavier over at notebooks.com caught me on video and asked me to list what devices I was carrying with me at CES .  For those of you who are curious, enjoy.

Next time you see me, feel free to ask what I’m carrying … I just might surprise you.
