A new report from iLounge suggests that Apple accessory makers will drop MacWorld in favour of CES.
Over the past week and a half, iLounges editors have had the opportunity to speak with dozens of leading iPod and iPhone accessory developers regarding their plans for the 2010 Macworld Expo and CES trade shows. As a result of Apples decision not to exhibit at Macworld Expo going forward, the vast majority of third-party iPod and iPhone companies weve heard from have said that they will not be exhibiting at Macworld Expo, either, and that they are instead consideringunder the right circumstancesmoving over to the 2010 CES.
It was likely that accessory makers would follow Apple to CES if they made the move; however, if Apple does not exhibit at CES the choice will be more difficult.
