While we were initially disappointed by the lack of an Apple teaser banner at Macworld Expo, it appears Moscone is littered with banners that are covered behind white tarps. These banners will presumably be revealed after Apple delivers their keynote address. Phil Schiller will be delivering the keynote address on Tuesday, January 6th at 9 a.m. Pacific.

Macworld San Francisco kicks off next week. First time attendees may find useful information at Macworldbound.com, an unofficial guide to Macworld Expo. MacRumors will provide live keynote coverage as well as ongoing floor coverage throughout the week.
