• Note that this story had no statement from Apple itself. I suspect that Apple will not be at CES. It would suddenly be a small fish in too big a pond at CES.
  
  Apple can have the press flocking to 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino CA at the drop of a press release. If they didn't want to be the 800lb gorilla of a Mac centric show, they are highly unlikely to be a part of a show where they can't be the center of attention, and use their pull to get what they want.
  
  Now I do believe that CES, which by many reports has had a smaller turnout and is likely to have a hard time attracting exhibitors due to a poor economy, is trying to woo the vendors who traditionally bypassed CES for Macworld Expo. It's the logical thing for them to try to do. Grab business from a competitor that's suddenly perceived as a show with less going for it.
  
  Apple probably hasn't said that they aren't going to CES, because all this has hit rather quickly, and Apple doesn't exactly fire off statements casually. I'm sure that they'll confirm their 'no trade show' stance and brush off CES as well as Macworld Expo. In reply to: "CEA confirms Apple-related exhibits at CES 2010"
