Jobs
Won't Fill French Keynote Slot
 By

At France's Apple Expo later in September, attendees will not see Apple's CEO
deliver a keynote address.
Steve Jobs turning down a chance to talk? A couple of Mac-centric web sites say
this is the case. Though previously announced as the keynote speaker for the event
beginning on September 20 in France, Mr. Jobs has withdrawn from that task.
Last year when he also skipped the keynote, health issues were a serious consideration.
The co-founder of the personal computer market had undergone pancreatic cancer
surgery in August 2004.
This year, the change was made with no explanation given. The Apple Expo web site
has removed the keynote from the listed proceedings. "I can confirm Steve Jobs
will not be addressing show attendees," said Apple Expo communications director
Marie Laranjeira in The Mac Observer. "There will not be a keynote address by
anyone."
Mr. Jobs and other Apple execs will be in attendance, and will talk with the media
while in Paris. Last year, Apple introduced their redesigned G5 computer at the
Paris show. One poster on The Mac Observer's site thinks the upcoming Apple product
announcement on September 7 "is going to be BIG" in order for Mr. Jobs to cancel
the keynote.
