3 Things Apple Could Unveil at CES 2010
Could Apple finally be coming to Las Vegas? The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple will exhibit at the CES 2010.
But even more exciting than the possibility of Apple exhibiting would be if Gary Shapiro could convince Apple CEO Steve Jobs to do one of his famous keynote speech's to kick off the electronic industry's largest trade event.
A Jobs' keynote address would surely upstage Microsoft's Steve Ballmer and Intel's Paul Otellini. It would also be significant for Apple and possibly set the tone for a more robust electronics industry in 2010.
Here's a few things Apple could introduce at CES 2010:
Web Tablet Line: Apple finally introduces a Web Tablet line that has been talked about for more than a year.
More Powerful Apple TV: Apple TV products that include 1080p support, multichannel lossless audio, Blu-ray playback and greater content support from iTunes.
The Beatles Catalog on iTunes: Jobs takes a page from Bill Gates/Slash playbook, joining Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on stage to announce The Beatles catalog is available on iTunes. The trio then breaks into a medley of "Fixing a Hole," "With a Little Help from my Friends" and "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You."

Why would Apple come to CES 2010? MacWorld was always the place annually for an Apple keynote with exciting new product announcements. MacWorld and Apple’s own World Wide Developers Conference which both occur annually are/were the place for Apple to make such announcements.
Now they have apparently given up MacWorld which is a little disappointing but they still have WWDC each year and can always schedule a Special Event any time during the year to announce new products.
Consumer Electronics Show is a competing event of MacWorld and mostly PC companies go there. Makes no sense for Apple to show up at CES 2010 as CES takes place roughly the same time frame as MacWorld—one year they were actually the same week, and same days; this time their scheduling may be a bit different (dunno if it will or won’t) but Apple has given up doing an annual keynote at a January show.
They might as well if they wanted to continue doing a show at that same time just continue with MacWorld. Why the CES rumors now because they decided to stop attending MacWorld?
