David Pogue of the New York Times:
What the media wants to see is the annual Steve Jobs keynote speech, where Apple’s latest products are often unveiled. So: no press throngs next year. The software companies in those hundreds of booths want to be near the mother ship, to bask in its glory and be seen by its admirers. So: fewer booths next year. And the regular Apple fans want to see that keynote, try out those Apple products and explore those booths. So: fewer attendees.
It’s going to be interesting to watch what happens next year, especially with CES going on at the same time.
