A friend who works at a print shop fulfilling a last minute order for CES flyers today informed me that Steve Jobs will be taking the stage at International CES for the first time to give a keynote address.

Steve will be filling in the slot originally slated for Bob Pittman, Co-COO of AOL Time Warner, “presenting Apple’s line of digital lifestyle appliances” and “an intuitive vision for consumer devices: think simple.”

Neither Jobs nor Pittman are currently listed on the keynote page. International CES takes place 8-11 January, 2002 at the Las Vegas Convention Center Alexis Park Las Vegas Hilton.
