"The App Store has fueled a surge in iPhone and iPod touch popularity, while Apple's latest Mac computers have continued to receive design and customer service accolades. The 2010 International CES is a unique opportunity for Apple's leading third-party vendors to show off their latest and greatest products on a truly world-class stage."
Developers of accessories and software for Apple's media players, cell phones and computers have signed on in record numbers to exhibit at CES.
