Jobs to keynote CES 2010? [updated]


The Wall Street Journal reports Apple to attend January electronics bonanza

When Apple pulled out of Macworld Expo for 2010, Apple told IDG World Expos: it's not you, it's me. Weeks before the January 2009 opened, Apple issued a statement saying '09 was its last year. The company claimed it has been pulling out of trade shows, following NAB, MW New York, MW Tokyo, and Apple Expo in Paris. Apple said its investments were best spent developing its presence on the Web and shopping for to attract customers and future customers. Still, many wondered if Apple might move over to the Consumer Electronics show in swinging Vegas, which typically overlaps Macworld SF.

Anyway, all that narrative aside, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple will indeed be attending next year's show. Furthermore, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been invited as a keynote, although, he reportedly has not RSVP'd.

This will no doubt further fuel rumor of a new product launch of the gizmo variety.

CES 2010 is set for January 7-10.

Will Apple CEO Headline CES '10?

Update: Now Engadget reports from the same event Apple may not be attending.
