Confirmed: No Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld San Francisco ‘09 & Apple’s last year at the event

—

There was a big of rumbling the other day when Steve Jobs was curiously left off the Macworld SF speaker / events list and now it looks like big man himself isn’t going to take the stage at all. That’s right, no jeans and black turtleneck. No “one last thing.” No ...

Contest: Call the Apple stock drop, win a mouse
CrunchGear — ... It’s not that investors just love seeing Jobs and want to punish him for not gracing them with his presence. No! No Steve at Macworld implies no new hot products at Macworld. Although marketing VP Philip Schiller will be filling in for the shilling, the lack of Steve implies that it’s going to be pretty tame, and earnings expectations will be adjusted accordingly. ...

So now what? Will Apple still bring a netbook or new Mac Mini to Macworld SF?
CrunchGear — ... We just learned that Steve Jobs is not going to give his annual address at Macworld where he generally announces new Apple product. So…now what? Is Apple still going to announce new products like the heavily rumored ...

The Apple Expo Paris has been cancelled
CrunchGear — ... Sorry, Euro Apple fanboys. The main Apple event on that side of the globe has canceled. The company has slowly been pulling out of trade shows, most notably Macworld as of yesterday, so  ...

No Steve Jobs at MacWorld means he’s leaving soon, right? Right?!
CrunchGear — ... As you well know, Steve Jobs won’t be at MacWorld next month; Apple won’t be at MacWorld next year. Speculation is rife online: is the the result of the recession? Is one show per year, the Worldwide Developers Conference, sufficient for Apple’s needs? Or, less scrupulously, is Jobs sick—and how does this affect stock price? ...

iPhone Nano concept photo surfaces
CrunchGear — There have been rumors circulating that Apple is going to release a Nano version of the iPhone at Macworld in a few weeks - despite that the big man himself will not be there. We have seen a case mockup but this is the first pic of the alleged device. The picture is labeled as a concept so obviously don’t assume this an iPhone Nano. It just looks like a shank down iPhone that happens to line up nicely with the case mockup from a few weeks ago. Will Apple capitalize on the iPhone success and launch another version at Macworld? Who ...

Slapfight over the Steve’s health status
CrunchGear — ... Both stories credit sources inside Apple, and since the stories they present are mutually exclusive, it’s up to you to decide what you think, or if you even care. I’d say the Gizmodo side has more weight as it provides a better explanation for what’s going on. What’s CNBC’s explanation for the sudden about-face? Oh, they don’t have one. Apparently they are content with Apple spin saying everything is dandy. ...

Poll: What’s Apple announcing at Macworld 2009
CrunchGear — ... Despite the big guy not making the coveted keynote himself, the show trudging-on with Apple making its last appearance. So what does Apple have in store for us today or tomorrow? The safe bet is on an updated dual core, dual monitor-supported ...

New iMacs coming soon? Sounds ’bout right.
CrunchGear — ... but the model line definitely isn’t cutting edge either. Intel’s low power, quad-core CPUs should replace the Core 2 Duo processor along with an NVIDIA GPU architecture that the company seems infatuated with lately. A Blu-ray drive would be nice too, but that likely will not happen due to Apple’s stance on physical media in general. It’s hard to tell exactly when Apple will launch the new models - if there are new models to launch - now that Macworld isn’t the soapbox of years past. The company is sure to send out invites to a ...
