The traditional January gathering of the Apple fans in San Francisco may have a new name, but the trend away from serious hardware and toward accessories for iGadgets continues, as we saw at what is now called Macworld | iWorld. With applications for Mac OS X stuffed into a back alley of the Moscone West convention hall and a mobile applications pavilion placed front and center, it's clear that the show's organizers recognize where the Applesphere is headed. Gone are the days when one could save a few bucks on a new Mac at the show, but scattered throughout the hall are a number of companies that offer new and interesting ways to protect an iPhone.
