MacWorld SF 06: What's not to miss?
Merlin Mann | Jan 9 2006
O, MacLazyWeb, I invoke thee. MacWorld is on over at the Moscone. I have my annual cheapskate "exhibits only" pass, and I'm prepared to blow a couple hours wandering around the floor some time this week. Ah, the sublime bazaar of chanting booth bunnies and free totebag offers. Good times! My question to you: what's exciting on the show floor this year? Anything I shouldn't miss? Any exhibitors want to make a case to the Bay Area (and out-of-town) geeks reading this? Beckon us unto your booth (and do feel free to offer free schwag and discounts to 43F Geeks in the bargain :)). NB: the usual admonitions on self-linking are lifted for this one -- provided they're tasteful and do indeed point to info on your exhibiting company (yes, I'll check). So, what's the happs, people? 14 Comments

 I went to MacWorld yesterday,...Submitted by Michael Huang (not verified) on January 11, 2006 - 5:50am.
I went to MacWorld yesterday, and aside from the usual buttons and stickers and whatnot, there are a couple of booths giving out useful schwag. Crumpler is doing a schwag trade-in at various times throughout the day. Ask the man in the white suit and bowtie when that is happening. I saw them give away a couple of bags yesterday. Free & useful stuff: iKlear - free samples of screen cleaner Ricoh is giving out a keychain/screen duster as well as sharpie markers. Peachpit Press (I think) has a Cody's Books coupon for 10% off Speck Products is giving out Postcards of San Francisco (although they do have the electronics/speck products logo on it) elektex is giving out gadget stands quark is giving out mints as well as electronic yo-yos debra weiss of rebe has a business card that doubles as a magnet creatorsofsoftware.com are giving out a cd opener and a cd cleaner. Notable to sees: Razer is showing off the Protouch, a keyboard with iPod dock. Omni Products is showing off OmniGraffle, a nice organizing tool. highergroundgear is showing off their laptop bags. I found their designs refreshing and innovative. harmon/kardon's drive/play installed in the bmw 325i is pretty cool. Delicious Library is being shown off in the 2005 Design Awards area -- it's a program that uses the isight to scan in bar codes from cds, dvds, etc and pull data off amazon to catalogue your media collection. » POSTED IN:
