Steve Jobs Spotted -- Returning to Keynote Duty at CES 2010?

Steve Jobs is more elusive than a yetti. Wearing a black long-sleeved shirt tucked into a pair of blue jeans, Apple co-founder Jobs was spotted yesterday by cameras while leaving the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Now that TMZ has photographic evidence of Jobs back at work after undergoing a liver transplant, the world wonders what's next. According to The Wall Street Journal, those answers might come at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. That is, if Jobs accepts the offer to resume his keynote duties. Gary Shapiro, chief executive of the Consumer Electronics Association, says he invited Jobs to deliver the keynote address at next year's show, but as of now, he hasn't heard back from the Apple CEO. However, the Journal reports that Apple does plan on attending CES, a first for the company.

Shapiro shouldn't feel bad if Jobs snubs his offer. After all, Sir Apple is a notoriously private person, and it'd be understandable given his recent health. Yet, with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Intel CEO Paul Otellini already set to speak at CES, it would be nice to see Jobs resume his rightful position at the Apple keynote wheel.

Update: The Wall Street Journal has since retracted its statement regarding Apple at CES. The Journal wrote, "It is not clear whether Apple will attend the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show." [via FT.com/techblog]
