According to CNet, Apple will receive more space at CES from 4,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet.

t's called the iLounge Pavilion and will be an exhibition area for products related to the Mac, iPod, and iPhone. This year, for the first time, there will also be a section for applications for use on Apple products.
