From the daily FUD files, The Inq claims that many companies, such as Gigabyte and ASUS, are disgruntled about this years show and are contemplating pulling out of next years.
Notable no-shows this year included Shuttle, Acer and HTC, whilst Intel and Nvidia also scaled back their presences. There was a complete lack of official news at the show, with no new graphics or processor announcements, a sorry state of affairs given the previous monopoly CeBit had on product launches in the Q1 timeframe.
It seems unlikely that ASUS and Gigabyte would actually skip next years show, but the declining numbers aren’t exactly reassuring.
