A major trade show seems to be taking advantage of Apple's pull-out from Macworld Expo and visitor disquiet over the event's changed timing.That caused disquiet, especially among overseas visitors to Macworld who were in the habit of attending both it and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in one trip.
The Consumer Electronics Association - the organisers of CES - responded by announcing the iLounge Pavilion, an area for exhibitors of iPod, iPhone and Mac related products.
4,000 square feet was originally allotted to the iLounge Pavilion, but that was more than quadrupled less than two weeks later.

Yesterday, the CEA announced that the pavilion had been expanded to 25,000 square feet.
"The past year has been truly amazing for Apple fans," said Jeremy Horwitz, Editor-in-Chief of iLounge.com, co-sponsor of the iLounge Pavilion.
