That's actually a GOOD thing for the iPhone.
That's a funny comment considering that I run Camino on my Mac so I can prevent all Flash from running in the browser.
Got a tip for us?

And half of that will be iPod/iPhone cases.
It's funny because it's true.
I'm trying to work up some enthusiasm for going this year, but I can't quite make it happen.
Hey, leave them alone, it takes a LOT of money to make Flash suck that badly.
Haha AMEN, favorite post I have read in a long time
Wow. Some of you need to take off the tinfoil hats.
As some others have said, this is strictly a financial decision by Adobe. They don't believe they will get value for the dollars they would have to spend. And in the current economy EVERY company is rethinking participation in events such as this.
This has nothing to do with Flash on the iPhone or anything else.
People are finally realizing that many of these conferences are nothing more than excuses for people to play golf and get drunk and have someone else pay for it.

I misread the title as "Apple Not Exhibiting at Macworld Expo San Francisco."
For a second I was really shocked!

Wait for it, there is still a month left to go. Apple just might pull out.
Maybe their not going to give us 64-bit support. When CS5 comes out, ether. They just want to avoid any questioning.
Wait, whens in CS5 due, in like 11 months sarcasm

wow, i didn't realize how big of deal the economy is right now. i didn't think companies like adobe would pull out of macworld
Exactly, trade shows are mostly a waste of time. I've been to one and it was the biggest waste of a weekend that I can remember.
Bingo.
I work for one of the biggest retailers in the US, and trust me, they are being hit hard and penny pinching like crazy. There isn't a company out there that isn't affected by what's going on.
Good for you!
The expo floor of Macworld has become an over-hyped flea market of regurgitated technologies previously released on the Web. I applaud Adobe for having the courage to focus on what will truly be beneficial -- in-depth courses and classes -- albeit with less visibility (hundreds instead of thousands). After all, who doesn't know who Adobe is already?
(With the floor to itself, Quark will likely capitalize on the opportunity.)

I miss the glory days when there was both MWSF and MW-Boston. And then you had these clowns like Sinbad being flown in by Apple to do cameo appearances and autograph signings.
Actually, Sinbad went to MacWorld because he is a Mac user and runs his business on Macs.

i think the expense was the reason too, and if i am not going to far out of the subject, i am going to eventually have to get a new photo program and so many of you use such for a living etc and i was wondering in general which is better Adobe and its addons or Aperture- this would be for a general user not professional yet still would like a good photo..in view of Tiger to Leopard to hopefully snow leopard i am wondering if Aperture is a better choice?
Yes/no???

I had heard that Avid's pulling out of NAB had a lot to do with cash-on-hand. And Apple's pulling out was mostly to do with no longer having to combat Avid's presence.
With regard to Adobe dropping out of Macworld, it seems logical. They can catch a majority of their target users at more focused shows like NAB and the various top-dog graphics conferences. There, they can focus specific products on both Mac and Windows and still reach the audience. Macworld, I assume, was largely a bonus show for Adobe. Most users they were hitting there were already being hit somewhere else.
