Extra Extra! The End is Coming!

Apple has just announced that Macworld SF 2009 will be the last Macworld that Apple will attend and Steve Jobs will not be speaking at the opening keynote this year. This latest marketing move from Apple have finally put the end to the Macworld trade show era, but marks the beginning of a new direction from Apple Inc.

I'm going to miss it, but I think is a good direction as the trade show concept is dying for general audience, and the cost of running a show like this is very high specially in time like this. Company and individual will be cutting traveling cost in the coming years and the power of the internet news and informations can be deliver in a much more economical ways. For Apple developing a more flexible product introduction and marking plant is much more important as the company is moving to a more consumer base product portfolio with Apple Store around the world.
