Reg Hardware В» News В» Mac Apple fans hope keynote holds news of sub-notebook 13 comments By Scott Snowden[More by this author] 13th January 2008 20:14″GMT Updated So, CES packs up for another year and everyone takes a break from the full-on, week-long frenzy. However, another big event is about to steal the spotlight as Apple is expected to announce an ultra-slim laptop at its annual show on Tuesday.
The annual Macworld conference in San Francisco is the venue of choice for Apple CEO Steve Jobs to roll out new products and chart the company’s course for the year.
His Barnum-like behaviour has set the agenda for key announcements within the computer and electronics industries, and in recent years Macworld has served as a spoiler to CES, as the two events frequently overlap - as will be the case again next year: Macworld 2009 - Tuesday 6 to Friday 9, CES 2009 - Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 January.
Apple’s new wares are expected to be more of an enhancement to its current offerings rather than anything that packs the awe of last year’s star attraction, the iPhone . Apple never gives any hint of what will be announced, so guessing what Jobs has up the sleeve of his black polo-neck is a favourite pastime of fans, analysts and industry folk.
