Pre-CES: CES vs. Macworld: Will Apple own 2008

Shogun · 31st December 2007, 20:01

As you may recall, last year saw Apple bump heads hard with the rest of the technology industry at CES and MacWorld; Apple was so overmatched that rather than David and Goliath, it was more like Bambi vs. Godzilla. This only makes the fact that Bambi kicked Godzilla’s butt back then all the more impressive.

This year though, the proverbial Godzilla in this scenario is coming armed to the teeth. However, Bambi has also been working out as well, and this makes for one heck of an impending battle royale between the two parties. Let’s discuss the upcoming confrontation this week.

I think one of the problems with CES is that too much news is generated from the show! Macworld continually focuses on the keynotes, and everything else from the show floor just kind of trickles to Apple-based news web sites. CES, however, has a flood of news that wears out even the most hardy tech enthusiasts.

I am just glad I will be able to attend both events this year - last year was a disaster!
