Apple has sent 250 employees to CES, iOS marketing head spotted

Apple and CES don’t pair well together - Cupertino has turned its back on the largest consumer show in Las Vegas and is holding its own events. The company can afford it - it has the hottest products and media attention, but nonetheless it’s invisibly present at CES as well.

Not only with the numerous accessories for its products that are on display on the showroom floor, but allegedly - with 250 employees, registered to attend the show, according to a Reuters report.

There are no official demos or keynotes, but Apple’s head of iOS product marketing, Greg Joswiak, was spotted walking around and near the Sony booth.

Now we have no idea what are those 250 Apple employees doing there, but at such big of a show, it’s definitely a good place to be getting acquainted with what the competition plans, plus some key meetings might be taking place. CES is still too big to ignore, don’t you think?

I bet they'll steal some design off the xperia and lumia. I observe those designs are catching the crowd's attention.

And other sites say these employees bring high-res iPads. well mostly fake.

or maybe it's just keeping an eye on the competition. It would be dumb if they didn't go

Why would on earth Apple send its employees too CES for? Dont they have their own conference? And besides its for other companies too show off their new products. Apple have NO RIGHTS being at CES (opinion). And besides they sue every other company thats at CES.

Let's be honest here, everyone wants to see what their competitors are up to, so Apple is there to check out the hottest idea and then take it and make it work better and take all the credit

You mean by cooying them?

31. SlimSoulja86 posted on 11 Jan 2012, 14:48 3 0

Ok, I don't know what the word "cooying" means, LOL

11. bloodline posted on 11 Jan 2012, 08:35 10 4

more like they were walking around and seeing what idea's they can steal then patent and then sue!

12. 9_HeLLs_oF_DrOid posted on 11 Jan 2012, 08:41 8 2

I think it's obvious- copy whatever you can and tout it as it was built by you.

13. ghost__uwi posted on 11 Jan 2012, 08:54 10 1

SPIES!!

14. christianqwerty posted on 11 Jan 2012, 09:09 4 11

I don't see how apple being at CES means they are scared?

32. stealthd posted on 11 Jan 2012, 16:35 1 1

That's because you have a brain.

15. flopjoke posted on 11 Jan 2012, 09:19 5 2

Following in Steve Jobs' footsteps.. spreading hate about Andriod and trying to make sure it dies.

16. pandamaja posted on 11 Jan 2012, 09:37 3 2

Apple marketing led the way, with koolaid in hand

17. ravi5695 posted on 11 Jan 2012, 09:39 5 2

Those all are "APPLE'S iSPYs"....lol.... APPLE's SECRET AGENTS.......

18. denney posted on 11 Jan 2012, 09:40 2 4

If you work for any tech company (even apple) you get a free pass to CES. This is probably just people taking advantage of that benefit.

23. SleepingOz posted on 11 Jan 2012, 10:53 1 0

either in denial or plain stupid

29. Pdubb posted on 11 Jan 2012, 13:22 2 1

250??? I don't know if they got that many passes without having a booth. Sounds fishy! I will not go as far as saying that they are there to copy but they are roaming around for some reason. maybe to get head start on what they think may be infringing tech??!!!??
