Businessweek's Arik Hesseldahl spoke with VP at IDG World Expo Paul Kent, who assured him that Steve Jobs was expected to speak at Macworld San Francisco's keynote and that a joint announcement was coming soon.
"We haven't made the announcement yet. We usually do this in concert with Apple... I have no reason to believe that plans are not moving ahead," for Jobs to speak.

Update: Businessweek has since updated the article with this statement:
