If you like tech, January is the most exciting month of the year. All of the big tech companies show off their new toys at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. All, that is, except for a little company from Cupertino called Apple Inc. For many years, Apple introduced their products at Macworld San Francisco. Typically, CES had a few days head start before Steve Jobs would take the stage at Macworld and pull all the press to San Francisco with his unparalleled showmanship. But this year, things are going to be a little different. Apple is no longer participating in Macworld. So will there be more media attention on CES 2010? Not a chance. There’s a Cupertino storm brewing the likes of which we have not seen since the introduction of the iPhone. Talk of the as of yet unannounced device will overshadow anything that happens in Las Vegas.
