When Apple announced its intention not to take part more in Macworld Expo, its organizer, IDG, put on a brave face and announced very quickly the dates of the 2010 expo; that is was to be held January 4. They have just changed their minds and have announced that the expo will be held from the 9 to 13 February, a new period for this show.
This reversal tends to confirm that many members in the Mac world will, probably together with Apple, take part in CES at Las Vegas that will be held 7-10 January. It would have been impossible for IDG to take on such a competition, CES being the largest computer expo in the world.
Of course, it remains to be seen if this change of date will be sufficient to convince the exhibitors to go to Macworld.
